Have you looked at the .dosemu/boot.log file? BTW, never saw a DOS with more than 64Mib of XMS or EMS memory, at=20 least DR-DOS or MS-DOS didn't allow it! Maybe a FreeDOS extension? :-) Having much less EMS and XMS memory would be better, since those=20 programs wheren't designed for so much memory, so, using 4Mib or 8Mib=20 should be plenty for them, try reducing the amount of memory, maybe tha= t=20 causes the problem? Bye.
