 You mite try going into MSD and look for memory areas that are free.
 Than add them to your EMM line. It is an Include statement, I=(region
 area-region area).  I don't know how much you know about this stuff,
 this is one of my specialies.  Finding memory areas and IRQ conflicts.
 Or maybe try multiple config and autoexec configurations.  You can
 also book with a floppy with a different startup.  I have had other
 people do this in order to play certain games where things in their
 autoexec weren't necessary for that particular game.  I run Win95
 on my machine with hardly anything in my config and auto.  It allows
 me to do almost anything.  Except some Dos and Windows games won't
 run so the kids will have to play them on their own Computers.
