SUMMARY
=======

MemMaker does not find your Windows SYSTEM.INI file if you are running a network
installation of Windows (installed with SETUP /N) and you don't log onto the
network from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

MORE INFORMATION
================

MemMaker relies on the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to find the files it
needs to optimize your system. MemMaker needs to read the SYSTEM.INI file to
determine how much free upper memory block (UMB) space to set aside for the API
translation buffers.

For MemMaker to correctly optimize your systems memory, load the network software
from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
