I know this sounds like an advertisement almost, but it's relevant. Try EMSMAGIC. http://www.emsmagic.com/ -- "EMS Magic is an expanded memory (EMS) emulator that installs as a removable TSR and runs under DOS and Windows 9x/NTx, including XP and Vista. It provides a complete implementation of the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft (LIM) 4.0 EMS specification, including a contiguous 64K page frame. EMS Magic can also extend the NTVDM extended memory manager (XMM) to support XMS 3.0 functions. Unlike EMM386 and NTVDM's EMM, EMS Magic will create the page frame wherever there is room, including lower memory if necessary. This allows it to provide EMS on systems where other expanded memory managers fail." "EMS Magic is available free of charge for personal, non-commercial use only. If this is your intended use, you may download from the links below." http://www.emsmagic.com/files/emsmagic21_personal.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
