I have a memory problem.I booted FreeDOS into my flashdrive,which is 8
gigabytes.But when I ran MEM,it reported that I have under 1 megabyte of
free memory.If I run Visual Basic 1.0,it reports that I am out of
memory.Any help for this?I have absolutely no clue,to be honest.I can't
even shell anything.
