Can't get EMS in Win2K...
This is a discussion about Can't get EMS in Win2K... in the Windows Games category; I'm having the *exact* same problem as the guy in. (Hi, Vlad. ) I cannot get any expanded memory in Win2K, as hard as I try. I've reinstalled several times to no avail. I've tried all manner of settings in my pif and config.

I cannot get any expanded memory in Win2K, as hard as I try. I've reinstalled several times to no avail. I've tried all manner of settings in my pif and config.nt, but nothing works. It simply doesn't load the EMS driver. I even grabbed a working pif from someone else to make sure I didn't just have a weird broken pif. Didn't work.
Being as DOS in Win2K is really just an emulation, my hard ware shouldn't matter, right? I know that in *real* DOS EMM386 has a hard time getting EMS together, because my adapters are using a lot of the highmem space for their roms. Win2K isn't stupid enough to try and mimic that, is it?
Thanks!
