How to resolve "While initializing device IOS: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 4:42 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David Bookbinder (360 messages posted) After installing a USB multifunction printer from Brother (DCP-130c), on startup I get the error: "While initializing device IOS: ERROR: Real mode system memory allocation failed." I gather, from an Internet search, that Windows is running out of memory loading drivers from the iosubsys folder. However, I don't know how to avoid this problem, as I need the driver to use the printer. How can I either increase available memory for drivers or figure out what drivers are being loaded that I don't actually need and remove them, so I can use this printer? (Or some other solution I can't fathom.)
