Hi,
I have been using dosbox to run a statistical program and it was working fine but today it gave me a memory error. When I try to run it, it says 'out of memory for v_ptr. Abort.' I tried the loadfix and it is not helping. Is there anything else I can do to resolve the issue?
Thanks

If the app used expanded/extended memory you might try the following in your config to provide additional RAM...

[dosbox]
memsize=63

DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION

Besides that re-install the application using a clean dosbox setup (unmodified config file etc)
