Yes. What is your DPMI host on the machine that swaps?

Can you at least copy them and post them here? If not, then post these
items instead:
* the output of "mem /c"
* the output of "set"

Some other software has taken up all of the extended memory, so it isn't
available to DPMI programs. The question is: what software is that? My
guess would be that it is some memory manager that is installed at boot
time, but only a glance at CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT will tell for sure.
