Questions: 

Hello, My name is Andreas and I'm from Sweden. 
My question is:
  At work we have a VAXstation 3100 loaded with 72 Mb
memory. This is shown when we starts the machine.
When we start VMS and use the VMS-command SHOW MEMORY 
we are told that there are only 32 Mb memory in our 
VAXstation.How is this possible? 
What can we do use all the memory? 

I would be very happy if you could give me some answers.
Have a nice day, 
         Andreas

This is usually due to the SYSGEN parameter PHYSICALPAGES not having been reset
when more memory was added.  To fix this, do a:

  $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS REBOOT
