	~~The~~ EMS ~~(Emulate Expanded)~~ memory ~~support is not available in Windows 2008~~.		== 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:

	~~On Windows 2003, normally EMS memory is provided, but this can vary depending on the server hardware/bios configuration.~~
	~~Sometimes lack of EMSMAGIC may cause errors like:~~
	#Backup File Size is 0		#Backup File Size is 0
	#RTP27. [B28] Not enough String Space – Out of Memory		#RTP27. [B28] Not enough String Space – Out of Memory
Line 8:		Line 10:
	#B706 - String Space Format Error		#B706 - String Space Format Error

	~~Please read the notes at [[Troubleshooting_NEOSYS_Generally#Recognising_and_Solving_Low_Memory_Problems\|Recognising and Solving Low Memory Problems]] to understand more about~~ EMS ~~related problems~~. ~~AS NEOSYS requires~~ this ~~important legacy feature it is~~ required ~~to use an EMS emulator called EMSMAGIC~~		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.

	# ~~Edit c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt file~~ in ~~Notepad to include~~ the ~~following~~ at the ~~bottom~~:		# Restart NEOSYS in maintenance mode and check that the EMS memory shows in the maintenance mode by typing WHO in the command line (instructions at [[Troubleshooting_NEOSYS_Generally#Checking_EMS_Memory_Configuration\|Checking EMS Memory Configuration]])

			== Installing EMS Magic on older versions of NEOSYS ==

	~~Once you are done with~~ the above, test that the EMS memory shows in the maintenance mode by typing WHO in the command line (instructions at [[Troubleshooting_NEOSYS_Generally#Checking_EMS_Memory_Configuration\|Checking EMS Memory Configuration]])		In versions of NEOSYS prior to Dec 2018 it is also required to edit the AUTOEXEC.NT file as follows:
