I am having problem with a Windows ME system and EMS memory.
When looking at DOS Shortcut RightClick/Properties/Memory it
says EMS is disabled due to a "emm386 nomem statement in the
Config.Sys file". Slight problem since Windows ME does NOT have
a Config.Sys file.
In the Microsoft knowledge base, I found "Cannot Configure
Expanded Memory Support for a MS-DOS-Based Program" (topic no.
Q275423) concerning "...may not run in Windows Millennium
Edition (Me)"
Further, "There is an EmmExclude or NoEMSDriver statement in
your System.ini file, or your system may have insufficient
upper memory area available for Windows to provide EMS memory
in Windows. Windows Me does not support loading Emm386.exe from
the Startup disk."
Then,
"Find the EmmExclude or NoEMSDriver statement in the [386enh]
section, and then type a semicolon (
at the beginning of the
line." Following is the the contents of the System.ini [386enh]
section, Obviously, that isn't it.
[386Enh]
MinSPs=8
ebios=*ebios
woafont=dosapp.fon
mouse=*vmouse, msmouse.vxd
device=*dynapage
device=*vcd
device=*vpd
device=*int13
keyboard=*vkd
display=*vdd,*vflatd
Next, "...If this does not resolve the issue, add a
"ReservePageFrame=yes" statement to the [386enh] section of
the System.ini file." Tried that, still no success, still
getting "emm386 nomem" indication.

Anyone have any ideas??
