EMS memory and XP (Users)

posted by paulrichards, 19.03.2013, 00:43

I have followed the earlier threads on this forum regarding EMS memory and XP and the effect that KB2724197 had. So I uninstalled KB2724197 and I was able to continue running MS-DOS programs in the NTVDM command window.

In recent days when I tried to run a MS-DOS program in XP I received this message: "NTVDM.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". I did some googling and found that KB2707511 had been found to have the same effect so I uninstalled this and was able to continue running MS-DOS programs for a while but the NTVDM message came back.

I therefore installed DZEMM.SYS and DZEMM.DLL following the instructions provided with the program and modified CONFIG.NT. Unfortunately I am still getting the NTVDM message and am unable to run MS-DOS programs.

Is there any solution to this problem? I am aware of FREEDOS and DOSBOX but would prefer a MS-DOS-capable XP :-)

TIA
