Memory problem under XP

[Robin Miller complex.gal@xxxxxxxx]

Hi everyone,

    This long-time lurker has just gotten an XP desktop
from Dell and, when running XyDos 4, I am unable to load the spelling
dictionary. Whenever I try to execute the "spell" command, or
when XyWrite tries to automatically check the spelling of a word I've
just typed, I get a "there is not enough memory to perform that
function" error message. I have tried the default memory settings,
very large memory settings across the board, and the setting recommended
by Robert Holmgren:


Conventional: 640

Expanded: 5120

Extended: None

MS-Dos: Auto

Initial: Auto


All has been to no avail.


Less importantly, I've also been unable to solve the "keyboard did
not accept new repeat rate settings" error message.  I've tried
KS=0, 0 (recommended by Jim Eberle on 5/19/2003) and 10, 1 (recommended
by Martin Osborne on 10/23/2002). My original settings were the default
of 0, 1.


Thanks so much.

Robin
