    ... ERROR:An Extended Memory Manager is already installed. XMS Driver not installed.

    Welcome to Windrivers gunavision ... there's usually someone 'lurking' here, however if you are in a rush try chat.

    Does this message stop windows booting & running or just 'Authorware' & did it just start after you'd installed that ?

    Windows xp shouldn't need an extended memory manager being designed to work with more than 1024k, methinks something has added some code not required ....

    So the message pops up when you try & run the application 'authorware' & only then ?

    I suspect your application is designed for a DOS environment, rather than winows xp, see if this can help you ... Legacy apps at home with XP (you want page two, which descibes with pictures! how to use the 'compatibility mode wizard')

    You might need a little experimenting to figure whether it needs this mode to install the app or run the app or even both ...
