I had the same problem.  SMARTDRV cannot be loaded high, but will load
itself high if there is enough memory.  put smartdrive in you autoexec
file without the loadhigh.  Then run qemm's optimize /loadhionly (/l will
do).  This will leave maximum room available.  Then reboot, and mft should
show you that smartdrv is high.  If it is not, you may have to move
a tsr or two around between high regions.  Also make sure that smartdrv
is at the beginning of you autoexec file (before any loadhigh's).

I hope this helps you.  It worked for me.

BTW.  Make sure you use NOEMS parameter on your device=QEMM line in
config.sys.
