Correct.  This means it can't find any free DOS memory to store required
page tables.  This can be caused by running a non-DJGPP application which
loads the DPMI provider but has all the DOS memory allocated, or by trying
to lock (against paging) large amounts of physical memory.

If it's a non-DJGPP application, there is a CWSPARAM flag which can be set
to allocate the page tables early (in the startup phase) but it's much
less flexible as far as memory usage.

I'd need more information on exactly what you are trying to do first.
