Limiting memory
If you don't have time to use the chip-removal method or if it's impractical for your particular situation, there's another approach you can take to accomplish the same goal. With this method, you won't physically remove the chips--you'll just tell the machine not to use them by adding a setting to the SYSTEM.INI file. To begin, launch Notepad and open the SYSTEM.INI file. Under the [386Enh] section, add the line
MaxPhysPage=XXX
XXX is the amount of memory (in hexadecimal format) you want Windows 95 to use. It's usually best to start with a large number and then gradually decrease the amount until the error disappears. For example, if you want to limit Windows 95 to the first 16 MB of memory, then XXX would be the memory address FFF. To limit the system to the first 8 MB, use the address 7FF; to specify the limit as the first 4 MB, replace XXX with 3FF.
Once you've decided on a limit, you'll need to save and close the SYSTEM.INI file. Then, restart your computer and run the application that gave you the error. You may need to experiment with different amounts of memory to pinpoint the largest amount you can use without getting any errors. When you do get an error, the SIMM occupying the addresses just above the memory location you specified is probably your bad one.
