Excuse me, everyone. What exactly is EMS? When I play some DOS games, it always prompts that there is an EMS error. How should I solve this situation?

EMS is the Extended Memory Specification. Did you add the EMS memory driver before playing those DOS games?

Five Steps to Enable the System to Support Extended Memory
1. Remove the read-only, hidden, and system attributes from the Config.sys file in the root directory of drive C. The method is: At the DOS prompt, type attrib -r -h -s Config.sys and press Enter.
2. Open the Config.sys system configuration file for editing. The method is: At the DOS prompt, type edit Config.sys and press Enter.
3. Edit the content of this file to add support for extended memory. The method is: device=c:\dos\emm386.exe RAM 1024. After editing, save and exit.
4. Restore the original attributes of the Config.sys system configuration file, that is, the read-only, hidden, and system attributes. The method is: attrib +r +h +s Config.sys and press Enter.
5. Restart the system, and everything is done!
1. Remove the read-only, hidden, and system attributes from the Config.sys file in the root directory of drive C. The method is: At the DOS prompt, type attrib -r -h -s Config.sys and press Enter.

Is CONFIG.SYS also set with the SHR attribute? I've never set it before!

What do you mean by your first step??
Won't it be the step where I said "Cancel the read-only, hidden, and system attributes of the file Config.sys in the root directory of drive C. The method is: Type attrib -r -h -s Config.sys at the DOS prompt and press Enter"?

I mean how to do the first step under WIN98:
1. Cancel the read-only, hidden and system attributes of the file Config.sys in the root directory of drive C. The method is: type attrib -r -h -s Config.sys at the DOS prompt and press Enter.
Because I don't have DOS.
When running DOS software in DOS state, the system always says: This software only runs under DOS. So I ask under WIN98 ^O^

How can you say you don't have DOS? You know, Win98 is actually a large protected - mode graphical user interface system, that is, a GUI system, on the DOS platform. So, you can enter pure DOS mode. The method is: restart the system, and when the Windows startup screen is about to appear, press the "F8" key. At this time, the system startup mode selection menu will appear on the screen, and you can choose to start the system in DOS command line mode. Isn't that okay?

Thanks! But after I did as you said, the screen shows: XME is not installed. What's the matter? I have DOS extended memory! I saw it in the properties.
