Try putting it into a different load order, like at the top of autoexec.bat .
It's a toss-up as to which will offer more base ram. I've gone to QEMM386 ver
6.03 and it leaves me 636k free with :

[config.sys]
himem
dos high
emm386.exe
mvsound.sys
tslcdr.sys

[autoexec.bat]
setver.exe
mouse.com (Logitech ver6.02)
mscdex.exe

Of course the syntax for the above is NOT detailed.

good luck,
Don
