XMS memory problem

by cwleng . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

My Windows 98 can bootup normally but the problem is when I try to bootup to safe mode this message prompt up in MS-DOS
” Himem is testing extended memory…done
Windows XMS driverversion 3.95
Extended memory specification(XMS)version 3.0
copyright 1988-1995 Microsoft Corp
error:Himem.sys has detected unreliable XMS memory at address 00C90F94 XMS driver not installed
To continue starting your computer,press enter.”
After I press enter it display the next message
“Himem.sys missing”
make sure that the file is in your Windows directory Windows has stopped press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart computer”
Please advice from where to start troubleshoot on the problem I am facing
Thank you.
