Sounds like your himem.sys (extended memory driver) isn't being loaded.

If you boot using a DOS95B or Win98 boot disk, as you're supposed to before installing Windows, then himem.sys will be loaded.

If you're not booting using a boot disk, go to www.bootdisk.com and make one and then try installing Windows.
