virtual memory

Newer version of OPENCP need more than 4MB memory. If you have few memory you can still use the player if you enable the virtual memory functionality of the dos4gw.exe protected mode extender. Just as windows it can swap your memory to hard disk and thus provide more memory to applications than physical memory is present.

To enable use of virtual memory simply place the following line in your autoexec.bat or type it at the command line:
set dos4gvm=1

There are many options to control the protected mode extender. But the defaults will usually do. A text file describing all options of dos4gw is located at
