Troubleshooting 10
PROBLEM:
The message “Out of environment space” is displayed.
Cause:
The system environment space is insufficient.
Solution:
Add the following statement to the CONFIG.SYS file:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P
The /E switch sets a new size for the system environment space. If the message
reappears after changing the size to 512, reset it to 1024. See your DOS manual for
information about the
Shell
command.
