Section 6.2 of the FAQ addresses the problem, but does not help me
solve it in this case.

I have a bootable system floppy with DR-DOS 7.03 files on it. I put my
executable file and CWSDPR0.EXE (which my executable is stubedited to
use) on the floppy. I booted a Pentium-MMX 166 MHz with 48 MB RAM at
home using this floppy and ran the program without trouble. Then, I
took the program to the office and got on an old 133 MHz Pentium (no
MMX) with 32 MB RAM. The floppy booted, but when I ran my program, I
got the error message:

Load error: no DPMI memory

The CWSDPR0.EXE file is still on the floppy, in the root directory
where my program also resides. I am invoking the program from that
directory by typing its name, as at home. The same thing happens if I
boot up Windows 95 and run it from a DOS box. Any ideas?

Thanks,


Clark Coleman

P.S. I noticed when re-booting from the floppy that when it runs
EMM386.EXE during the DR-DOS initialization, the EMM386 just says:

FRAME = NONE

and nothing else. I cannot remember what it says on the home PCs, but
that does not seem to be all it does at home.
