Your QEMM.SYS could use a bit more definition.
EMM386.SYS should be loaded in place of QEMM.SYS 
I don't see where you loaded SSTORDRV.SYS?

Where is SHARE?  SHARE should be loaded, especially if using SSTOR

I'd say you still have a bit of work to do with your CONFIG.SYS &
AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

No flame...you just need to read the manual a bit more.
