 I want to call the SYSTEM function inside my Microsoft Windows Application whenthe user select a particular menu item.  The problem is every time the
 application attempts to execute the statement, a window comes up with
 the Command title and says "Not enough memory to run".
 I'm using Windows 286 ver. 2.0 and Windows SDK ver. 2.0 running on an
 Everex 386 machine.  I have 640K conventional memory, 2 MB expanded
 and 4MB extended.  My config.sys file has the following entries:
       DEVICE=EMM.SYS AT 208 ND
       BREAK=ON
       BUFFERS=10
       FILES=20
       LASTDRIVE=E
       SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P /E:512
       DEVICE=C:\SMARTDRV.SYS 512
       DEVICE=C:\HIMEM.SYS
       DEVICE=C:DOS\ANSI.SYS
       INSTALL=C:C:\DOS\FASTOPEN.EXE C:=(50,25)
       DEVICE=QUIKMEM2.SYS 256
       DEVICE=C:\UTIL\OX.SYS
IF I do the mem command after window is brought up, the machine still
has 450K conventional, 1.8MB expanded and 0 extended (don't know why)
memory left.  Is this not enough to call SYSTEM.  The Windows
application with the SYSTEM call is very simple, I created just to see
if it would work.
Can anybody out there help me with this since Microsoft no longer
provides free support for their SDK?
Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
