I know very little about Lose95 ;-) and don't use it myself, but it seems to
me I've seen this problem here before. At a guess, I'd suggest checking the
properties box where you set how much DPMI memory the program gets. There
may also be a Windows-wide setting for this.

Do the Windows docs mention anything about this? You might want to check
that, as a last resort :-)

That makes sense. W95 *owns* protected mode and won't let anyone else
control it. You will have to use Windows' own DPMI server and not CWSDPMI.
