What type of EMS card do you have?  It could be possible that the card 
doesn't have full hardware support of EMS LIM 4.0.  I had a NEAT board 
which had EMS 4.0 built-in, but as you stated it had 0K of the largest 
available expanded memory.  I ran a EMS testing program to find that 
I didn't have full hardware support of EMS 4.0 so DESQview could only 
use the expanded memory to SWAP programs rather than run them.
