I will guess that you also have EMM386 loaded in this configuration (which
is the only way the numbers make sense).  Your configuration of EMM386
is wrong and needs to be changed.  Adding NOEMS would help, or adding a
number which would provide more than 256K VCPI memory.  A better memory
manager or upgraded DOS is the best solution.
