Try DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE AUTO RAM FRAME=NONE
See if that expanded memory works with you app.

Unless you have 26 drives, change this to LASTDRIVE=D or whatever it is.

You can remove this line to run a single program as long as it doesn't mind
(most dont).

Do you need the CD for this program? If not, remove this.

>DEVICEHIGH /L:1,15840 =C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DRVSPACE.SYS /MOVE
If you put the program, and everything else which is critical (the OS, etc) on
the uncompressed drive (isn't 95 already there?), maybe you could leave this
out too.

Again, do you need the CD?

Do you need the mouse?

After making changes, remove the /L:--- from all the LH and DEVICEHIGH lines.
Then try it again.

If it still doesn't run, but shows enough memory, remove the FRAME=NONE. If it
still doesn't have enough memory, and you weren't able to lose the CD or 
DRIVESPACE, consider it. If you can drop one (the CD, for example), this will
give you all the memory you need. Also, check the docs for the CD driver and
MSCDEX: both should have a default value for the buffers which could be 
decreased.

If all else fails, multiboot to true DOS 6.22 and memmaker whatever is left
after you trim, and try avoiding WIN95 alltogether (95 does leave a teeny bit
behind, I think...no guarantees!)
