I am using a DOS program that requires at least 2MB of XMS to work right. It says, "Insufficient EMS/XMS memory available for processing". No doubt it is because of the default XMS that is configured for Windows 2000 CMD.exe

How do I increase this?

C:\dos>mem


655360 bytes total conventional memory
655360 bytes available to MS-DOS
633632 largest executable program size

1048576 bytes total contiguous extended memory
0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
941056 bytes available XMS memory
MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area
