Check the shortcut to command prompt - click start -> programs, and right-click Command Prompt (or whatever your command prompt shortcut is called). Click on the Program tab and click Advanced. This'll give you a dialog for the Autoexec.NT and Config.NT files. Open these files in Notepad. Config.NT is basically the same as Config.SYS, except that it appears that WinXP handles the EMS itself (due to already being in protected mode). Autoexec.NT also is basically the same as Autoexec.BAT. However, the page I saw has a lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx.exe which sounds like it's the DPMI. Appearantly, it's required for DPMI applications to work.
