config.nt: EMM=RAM

Adding this line to the c:\windows\system32\config.nt file
as per the instructions in the file itself produces the error:

Unrecognized command in CONFIG.SYS
Error in CONFIG.SYS line 57

All I did was add the line

EMM=RAM

I tried

emm=RAM
emm = RAM
emm = ram
EMM=ram
EMM = ram
EMM = RAM

All failed.

I also changed the pif file to give me 2048 K of EMS memory
at the beginning of this escapade.

I see all over the net where the line EMM=RAM works for
some people and not for others.

How do I get this too WORK?

I have no idea why this doesn't work, however if you are trying to run
DOS programs or games, and have had enough trying to mess XP about to
get it to do what you want try this: http://www.angelfire.com/realm/zeroone/
Its a program that emulates DOS on modern computers, and as far as i can
tell does a damn good job of it too. Hope that helps

Thanks. I gave it a try, but it didn't solve my problem - I still need to get EMM=RAM to
work, or some variation thereof.

It is *very* fussy about the exact line, and in my experience the
reliable one is
EMM = B=4000 RAM
Despite the B=4000 being nominal default, it seems to need it. Also
spaces both sides of he first =, none next the second one
 
I'm having the same problem. I tried this (spaces exactly like displayed) but that didn't help:
EMM = B=4000 RAM
 
I tried EMM=RAM using XP on VmWare and it works just fine. But I noticed that lots of MS updates would not load on the VmWare XP system (don't know why); so I think there is probably an update that is messing things up.
