Dan, I hope you are still reading this forum. I have forgotten how to setup EMM386.exe on config.sys. Its giving me an error that Emm386 is not loading due to missing page frame info. I have searched the forums (win98/SE help forum) for any information you may have left, and I have some suggestions you made I will try. However, pending that info, I hope you can help. I can not believe I have FORGOTTEN this info!!

This is an old Dell Inspiron 7000lt that has windows 98se on it. It boots fine when not needing EMM, the extended memory system is working fine.

Thanks for all you help. Sorry I havent been on the forum much in the last few years.

Andy

I used to use (in my config.sys file);

device=c:\command\emm386.exe d=64 noems frame=none I=B000-B7FF

(Adjust path to suit.)


EMM386 Troubleshooting and Technical Information

If this is not helpfull, please let me know.

I added that tomy line in Config.sys where I was trying to load EMM386. It worked to enable EMS

Inside Windows, it reports EMS is functional, but the game reports no EMS

Used the line for DOS Mode and again, MEM reports EMM loaded and EMS available, but the game still reports no EMS...This is confusing to me.

I am reviewing the EMM386 web page you suggested. Thanks again Dan!

Are you positive that the "noems" command is not in your config.sys file?

DOS=High,UMB
device=c:\windows\himem.sys /testmen=off
devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe d=64 frame=none I=B000-B7ff
devicehigh=c:\aecu.sys

Stacks=9,256
Buffers=10
Files=50

(Cut and past from my config.sys)

This is an Old Dell Laptop, Inspiron 7000 that is running 98se. I really do appreciate you help

Let me know if there is anything more you need.

Try changing your emm386 line from;

devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe d=64 frame=none I=B000-B7ff

to;

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe d=64 noems frame=none I=B000-B7ff
