Has anybody dealt with the Vaio laptops before? I've tried almost everything but have not been successful in getting the expanded memory active. Heres the list of stuff that has already been tried.
1) icon has ems memory at 4096
2) batch file has /XM4096
3) _default shortcut to MS-Dos in c:\winnt has expanded memory set to 4096
4) config.nt has the following lines
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=100
Is there anything obvious that i have missed ?
All help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Should have HIMEM.SYS first. Then EMM366.EXE AUTO next. Then the Files=200. Then it's ok to do DOS HIGH,UMB.

CONFIG.NT (These are the Win2000 default settings)
