Hi,
I want to enable EMS because I need more memory for my OLD DOS program.
User Manual say that dont use E0000 segment to enable EMS. You have to use C9000-D8FFF for configure EMS because BIOS is bigger.

You appear to be running the software from the MS-DOS Prompt within W98SE, this FORUM is ideally suited for posters running DOS Standalone - not WinDOS from within W9x.
Actually there is a Windows 9x FORUM up the page...........

Windows 9x use .PIF environments for MS-DOS Software see:

That is why using Standalone DOS methods are largely irrelevent.....

Your best bet may be to run memmaker. It will add and configure emm386.exe. It was included with dos 6.xx and as a supplement to 95. Post back if you need more info.

Yeah, I know, but how many times does he need his hand slapped? Besides, this forum is slow enough already.
