- Your QEMM.SYS could use a bit more definition.
- EMM386.SYS should be loaded in place of QEMM.SYS
- I don't see where you loaded SSTORDRV.SYS?

- Where is SHARE? SHARE should be loaded, especially if using SSTOR

-
- I'd say you still have a bit of work to do with your CONFIG.SYS &
- AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
-
- No flame...you just need to read the manual a bit more.

- Good Luck Chuck Reichert
