Hi,
To activate EMS memory you need to install emm386.exe driver in Config.sys without NOEMS switch (as you already tried) or you must use RAM switch instead of NOEMS if you want both EMS and UMB. But Emm386.exe will not work without Himem.sys driver so make sure you have next lines in Config.sys:
(instead of C:\Dos use the actual directory you keep your DOS files). Then use MEM command to look if you have EMS enabled.
Good luck,. Igor

i would recomend replacing the NOEMS statement with /AUTO rather than "RAM" as Igor mentioned. It will then automatically adapt to provide whatever ammount of EMS you need when you need it.
Summary: Are there any utilities, other than RMSoft Hypereal, which can load programs into EMS memory? Don't tell me it can't be done, I've used Hypereal and it works. Just not on the computer I'm trying to us...
