   Try using the HIMEM.SYS supplied with Win98x . I've found it to be the most   
   robust, though I've not tried the ME version (which is likely to be   
   idendical).   
      
   You should also junk (ok, rename them to Xxxx.701) the RTM.EXE and   
   DPMIBI16.OVL files supplied with BP7 and use the one supplied with any of my   
   (DPMI) downloads from the "downloads" page of my website (see my sig). The   
   ONLY problem I've found with these replacements is that DPMIBI16.OVL   
   requires at least XMS services to be provided by your environment (eg by   
   HIMEM.SYS).   
      
   Don't load EMM386 if you want best performance, or the best reliability for   
   that matter.
