Check your PATH setting in autoexec.bat.  It must be pointing to a
directory with a 16-bit dpmi loader as the one that comes with
Turbo C++ (I forgot the name of the file...dpmi16 or something like that). 
The whole point here is that you should hide the 16-bit dpmi
by removing that file or by removing its directory from autoexec.bat PATh
setting or by placing that directory AFTER the directory with
cwsdpmi in PATH setting.
