XP Won't Make EMS

I've been trying to run on XP Pro an old DOS game that requires EMS. I know about the memory settings under Properties, but no matter how I set them, the game and MEM both report no EMS. I have a W2K Pro machine at work, and I can get EMS on it, but the same settings don't work on this XP box

I've used DOSBox and Virtual PC; I know all about them, so please no suggestions to use either of them. I just want to know why this machine won't make EMS

Thanks.
