To work around this issue, add the following line to the [386enh] section of the System.ini file:

MaxPhysPage=40000

This limits the amount of physical RAM that Windows can access to 1 GB. To add this line, use the following steps:

Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the System.ini file in the Windows folder.

Add the following line in the [386Enh] section of the file:

MaxPhysPage=40000
Save the file, and then restart your computer.
