Even if your DPMI server _could_ make use of the whole 800MB of one
partition (usually there's a limit of 256 or 512 MB, I don't know
exactly of the actual limit of CWSDPMI) it still is probably not
enough to load all the data to (virtual) memory.

No wonder.

(1) Use less memory. Don't load the data all at once. Load what you
need and destroy it when you don't need it.

(2) upgrade the RAM of your machine to 1 or 2 GB.

I would recommend the first method. :-)
