I have a client with one of these machines and the BIOS needs to be updated. The machine is currently at version A10 and the newest version is A16. As the version implies, there are several updates between A10 and A16.

My question is does each intermediate version need to be installed or does A16 contain all of the updates between A11 and A16.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Normally the latest BIOS revision will cover all updates that are missing - but I have always worked on the basis that it is safer to do them one by one in the correct order.

The update worked fine but unfortunately didn't solve my problem which is kind of weird to begin with.

The client has an old DOS application compiled in Clipper that they won't give up. It does what they need and is pretty straight forward but not easily recoded and they don't have source code anyway.

The program is giving them a low memory warning which interrupts their workflow and so is very annoying.

This machine will not load anything into the High Memory Area in a DOS box so the largest executable program size (mem /d) is around 575K. Older machines that do load DOS drivers into the HMA don't have the problem and get anywhere from 605K to 630K available.

To further compound the issue this machine, although being a newer machine (2011), is running Windows XP.

I've been through the System Info on this machine and don't see anything out of the ordinary about the HMA and there appears to be quite a bit unused but the LoadHigh command in the AutoExec.nt file will not load anything there.

So far all I can come up with is that there is something incompatible between the XP mobo drivers and either the hardware or the BIOS that won't let the DOS box use the HMA.

I have Win 2K, XP, and Win7 and it works OK on Win7 with my ASUS mobo. I guess they'll have to update the machine to Win7 but that also involves updating a bunch of their application software to Win7 versions so they are trying to avoid it.

Out of roughly 150 machines, they are having the problem on about 20 of them.

I don't find anything on the web about this particular problem and was wondering if anyone else has seen anything that might be related.

Comparison data between a working machine and this machine is in the attachment.

Thanks for your replies.

o Stomach problems - feeling sick to your stomach, diarrhea and sometimes even vomiting Panic attacks may last about a half hour, and someone may feel very tired after the incident. If left untreated, these symptoms may further develop into more severe forms of anxiety disorder (panic attacks being the worst. Nothing seems to work and you have no hope. Using Self-Hypnosis to relieve anxiety is often recommended by medical doctors. Because we really do not know whether to run away or stay around to fight we feel defenseless.

However, most people only know the superficial details about anxiety attacks. Second, we all know what doctor visits are like. B-Complex (or any B-Vitamin) is an excellent choice to take daily to help calm your nervous system. This alternative anxiety treatment has no side effect because no artificial chemical is introduced to the body. If physical therapy is not enough, taking vitamins and other anxiety help tablets is another good option. For anxiety sufferers who are undergoing surgery, your doctor must be informed prior to the surgery that you are taking atenolol.

Time management, organization, and prioritization are just some of the techniques that can be mentioned. It's also helpful to avoid drinking caffeine-loaded liquids, sleep deprivation, and stimulant use. n) Visual changes including the light seem to be too bright or seeing spots etc. Before prescribing any sort of medication, doctors generally advise the patient to go for some self help and relaxation techniques. I was spending more and more of my time figuring out ways to avoid doing just about everything. Instead, we're talking about crippling anxiety that can ruin the most simple of tasks.

Is there alcoholism or abuse happening in the family?
