  I am new with using extended memory and the 386 utilities that go
with these machines to access this memory.  I have a 386SX system and
when I boot on to the system I get the following error:

Error: Cannot read/write the EMS segment.
       Shadow Ram jumper may be incorrect.
LIM Driver not installed!


How can I fix this.  I tried playing around with the utilities, I 
have the VEMM.sys accessed through my config.sys file. I tried playing
with the jumper and then I can access only 640K instead of the 1 Mb.
When I enable the jumper the error comes up again.  I ran chkdsk and
I still have only 640K available in RAM.  I have a color VGA system
with 40 MB hard drive, if that is any help.

I could use any advice.   Thanks   J.S.
