i am not able to do load install command and it showing not enough memory and also if you give memory it showing only 13,378 kilobites

Is this a brand name server or "whitebox"? Many PC-class motherboards do not properly present the amount of memory that is installed in the system. If it is an older server-class machine with an EISA motherboard, there may be a system utility that you have to run to configure the extra RAM.

You may also need to add a REGISTER MEMORY command to the STARTUP.NCF file:

REGISTER MEMORY 1000000 7000000

At http://support.novell.com/search/kb_index.jsp, do a search on REGISTER MEMORY

Try the following:
1.Down the server and look at the config.sys on the dos partition,make sure no memory manager is loading(himem.sys).
2.If you take out the new memory ,and do a memory at the command line,does it see the original 64?
3.Make sure the server is patched at the last service pack.

Boot your server up and let it run for an hour or so. Load monitor.nlm. In the main screen, if 'Long Term Cache Hits' is below let's say 75%, 128MB is not enough for what your machine demands. If you have no more RAM to add you may want to look into removing some services or find out which ones are using more then they should.

My experiences with 4.1 say 128MB should be plenty for any services your run on that box. Look through monitor for memory resources and see how it's being used. From there you should be able to determine if you need more RAM or not.

I, personally have never heard of stsrtup.ncf so I can't help you on that one and I only have a NW6 box for reference at the moment.

by why me worry?

I just have one question? why in the hell are you running an obsolete and buggy version of Netware 4.x?

Netware 4.1 has version 6.x of NDS, which has been a nightmare for Novell. For this reason, they came out with IntraNetware 4.11, followed by Netware 4.1, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5.
