Try using "X=TEST I=TEST". I don't know why that was never the default.
But even that may not help. Apparently ultra-modern machines don't like EMM386 as much as older ones. In the readme somewhere, there's supposed to be an ultra-safe setting for testing. If that doesn't work, then your machine is incompatible, and you're out of luck.
(Though I think there is some obscure situation where Ulrich still prefers FD EMM386 before it became JEMM. So you could always try that old one.)
BTW, if using JEMMEX unsuccessfully, do try JEMM386 instead (and vice versa).
But this is the kind of thing I meant, Tom. It's probably not going to work for some people, and thus it's too arcane to pretend to support everything. Most people don't need it anyways. It can still be included but shouldn't be loaded or recommended "by default".
