   Al Kaiser to All   
   Need some help with TERMINAT problems   
   06 Jan 12 18:30:53   
   
   I am having a problem ruinng the ALT-M fuctions from the Area Menu Screen.   
   None of them, or at least the two that I've used the most work.  I do not   
   remember when they stopped working but it has been awhile and I don't know if   
   the problem is related to TERMINATE or to the computer itself.   
      
   First of all this basically is a brand new comptuer, the MOBO is new but still   
   using the old HD's and box.  But the heart of the computer is new.  Also the   
   Operating System Windows XP was reinstalled from the start.   
      
   When I try to PACK messages I get an error message that says   
      
   Swappingt 300 KB to XMS   
   Bad command or file name   
      
   and the pack never happens.   
      
   The other utility that does not work is PURGE.  I have it set for 90 days   
   50 messages MAX and when I run it, nothing happens.  No mesages get purged.   
      
   Does anyone know why this would happen?   
      
   Any leads as to "what changed would be helpful.  Possibly I have to change   
   or add something to either the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS.  I know that in   
   "old dos" you needed a command to load HIGHMEM.SYS or something like that.   
   Not sure if that had anything to do with XMS Memory, I never really knew the   
   ins and out of memory usuage, but I though that all went away with the   
   introduction of Window and later XP.   
      
   A little "edumcation" please.   
      
   Thanks!
