Installing EMS Magic
About EMS memory
NEOSYS requires EMS memory to function well.
Lack of EMS memory causes inability to process large databases and documents, and errors like:
- Backup File Size is 0
- RTP27. [B28] Not enough String Space – Out of Memory
- B703 Error
- B706 - String Space Format Error
Window 10 provides EMS memory automatically so installation of EMS Magic is NOT required.
Windows 2008 does not provide EMS memory itself so installation of EMS Magic IS required
Windows 2003 usually provides EMS memory itself BUT this can vary depending on the server hardware/bios configuration therefore installation of EMS Magic MAY or MAY NOT be required.
Please read the notes at Recognising and Solving Low Memory Problems to understand more about EMS related problems.
