I keep getting an error that basically tells me to change NOEMS to RAM but I can't find the line to edit in my config.sys file. When I open my config.sys file theres nothing in it but d= something. What am I doing wrong and how do I get ito the line I need to change. This is for WC Privateer.

If you are running win9x or winme, I recommend forgetting about a boot disk and using MyJemm. It works great. If you are on a different platform someone else can help you. I don;t know boot disks much.

If what Erkle told you doesn't work post your config.sys

You should look for a line that says:

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe NOEMS
and change that to
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe RAM

Just to make sure, add the number 16284 between emm386.exe and RAM. The sound will probably be... interesting if you don't.

Almost right, M&M

It actually goes like this:

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe ram 16384 i=b000-b7ff

(that i=b000-b7ff part sometimes doesn´t work, so take it out if you keep having problems)

A word to that b000-b7ff thingy... All it does is to give you 32k more HMA memory for uploading stuff (devicehigh/LH). As long as you have free HMA you don't need it.
It does however (temporarily of course) delete the monochrome BIOS of your graphic card so you shouldn't be able to play any grayscale only games when you use it.
