Sometimes programs require more high memory to load than they actually
end up using. SO you may not have enough memory. To test this, set up
your system so that you don't load anything else high (therfore there
should be lots of available memory) and see if it loads high now. If so
that is your problem. One possible workaround is to switch the order tha
that things are loaded high. You may have the mouse driver loaded as the
last thing in your config.sys file. Try loading it first or second instead
when there is the memory available to load it. Then you will have to try
rearranging all the remianing things so that they all load. QEMM will
do all this automatically for you, but with DOS 5 you will have to just
play around. It may end up being real simple.
