That would stop the error message. But see below, you are already in noems mode anyway... ;-). You are right that only few apps need EMS 3.2 (NOEMS disables 3.2 but you can keep using EMS 4.0). At least none of the tools included with FreeDOS 1.0 need it, as far as I know. > I have really no idea, which parts of the ram I have to exclude > from EMS, and was hoping of information about this. I think emm386 already selected the right area itself. Check if you get crashes while emm386 is loaded and UMB are in use (eg because you use dosdata=umb, devicehigh, or loadhigh). If yes, you manually have to exclude more areas. If no, everything is okay - except the thing that you only have small amounts of UMB because your mainboard and extension cards already use most of the space that could be used for UMB for other things. > I always get error msg., that "space is not availible for EMS. > EMS function will be limited." This means that emm386 automatically activated NOEMS because no consecutive 64k of UMB could be turned into a page frame.
