Out of Environment Space


How To Fix This Problem

Running or installing DOS or Windows tools can sometimes result in the message "Out of Environment Space." This page describes two ways to usually solve the problem.

Method 1: Changing the DOS Session Properties

This method will work if you don't need too much extra space and you are running the tools from a DOS Session.

If you still receive error messages, then you can try Method 2, listed below.

Method 2: Changing the config.sys file

This method works for Windows 95. I'm not certain whether it also works for later versions of Windows.
