Check the order of your commands in your config.sys

This is the EMS-part of my config.sys

LASTDRIVE=Z
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB <---- this is important!!!!
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE /NOEMS /NOMOVEXBDA
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\HPC_CD.SYS <--- this is my CDROMdriver!!!

And this is my autoexec.bat

@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $P$G
SET
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\TRUMPT\WINSOCK;C:\DOS;c:\trumpet
SET TEMP=C:\DOS
LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM
LOADHIGH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD000
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6

With this configuration MEM.exe gives

C:\>mem
