no dpmi error for computer with 4 GB RAM?'s a cool scene! Dig it!

  This is a programming newsgroup, but your question is not about
programming. I'll answer this time, but please find a more appropriate
place, the next time you have a question unrelated to programming.
  The answer is simple. You haven't loaded an extended memory manager
such as HIMEM.SYS. Load that and you should be able to access DPMI
resources.
  DPMI servers (including those built into DOS extenders that come
with many programs) typically build their resources on top of XMS
(Extended Memory System) or EMS (Expanded Memory System), so you need
drivers for these loaded.
