If I remember correctly there are several references in the QEMM manual about what to do for Windows.  I believe QEMM provides a utility to run against a windows file (.ini or something).  Also, Windows wants to install things in your autoexec and config that QEMM won't be happy with.  Watch out for fun stuff such as SMARTDRV with double-buffering (can not be loaded high)  I use SMARTDRV as ... 256 256 in my config and deleted the reference in my autoexec that Windows inserted.  Check the QEMM manual index

 for Windows.  (Appologies if I have pointed out the obvious!!!)  I run QEMM optimize after EVERY change I make to my autoexec or config.
