Can you send me a MEM /A?  I'm interested in who is loaded at 005B:xxxx.
Typical things that I recommend that people often forget is:

1) bare OS (no config or autoexec, or at least minimals) which you
already have. 

2) no BIOS rom shadowing.

Usually between these two, I can get most things installed.
