it seems like he is running under dos, so he can do without emm.

a-hem ... i don't think you can load emm386 high. and unless you are
absolutely sure you need the extra parameters, i would get rid of them.

i cannot imagine needing this setting to be this high. try around 30.
but do make sure you have files=50 somewhere.

ok, you have 24 mb total ram. you give smartdrv 16 mb, and ramdrive 4
mb, you are left with a computer with 4 mb total memory. get rid of the
ram drive, shrink smartdrv to 2 mb (or maybe 4 if you really want to.)
