You can right click on the ms-dos application and change it's settings under properties. Under the memory tab, you can change conventional memory, EMS, XMS, and DPMI settings, or you can manually set these by editing the environtment initializationfiles, generally found in C:\winnt\system32\ named autoexec.nt and config.nt.

This may or may not apply to Windows 2000, I'm not positively sure, but here goes...

Edit your C:\CONFIG.SYS file and make sure you have something like this...

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=substitute any device driver that you might have here.

In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, load all legacy TSR programs high by using the LH command. Example: LH MOUSE.COM

Hope this helps.
