Nothing works the same on all machines, esp. since we all use various PCs from different OEMs. It could be a BIOS bug, your error, some other software error, etc. Let's not be too hasty to blame JEMM (or Japheth) as most of us use it without problems. Granted, if it doesn't work for you, don't use it. But a nice, clear bug report (or even patch) would be ideal. ;-) > I reverted to EMM386 and everything is running smoothly again.

I think he was going for more MS-like auto-detection there, which is why it's slightly different handling now. (And for instance, I think one of the big issues with "old" EMM386 was heavily incomplete [broken?] VDS.) BTW, call me naive, but does that above line even give you any UMB space?? If not (and NOEMS), why use EMM386 at all??
