UIDE is remove from config.sys it works when I use memory managers from FreeDOS-1. I do it on EDR-DOS-7.1.0.7 David EDIT by rr: moved from category "Emulation", more descriptive subject

No necessarily. I also have a SB Live and use jemmex, and there is no problem. jemmex doesn't use that much extended memory for itself. You must NOT use jemm's MIN= option, however. It causes extended memory to be reserved statically.

Yes, there are few TSR/Drivers which consumes EMS/XMS which allocate from the beginning so it's necesarry to put sbemu driver before loading them. E.g. disk cache may cause this problem, but I wouldn't suspect DOSLFN. Anyway you had solved it, OK.
