    Same! Getting strange QEMM warnings, freezes, then no upper memory at all, etc. and finally realizing ProxMox just isn't a great platform

    EMS or Upper memory is there, I can load, SMARTDRV and RAMDRIVE, with copious memory with no functional issue.

    Have you tried any of the other architecture settings? I've run DOS 6.22 and freeDOS in PXE, but not doing much more than running Microsoft
    Word for DOS and a QWK reader.

    Maybe there's something I'm missing, what architecture settings? I didn't do
    a lot other than look at some vids to get the VM to a workable stage then
    just cloned it. So I don't really know much about it, but, I only recall
    seeing processor performance options nothing about how it behaves though.

    If'n I recall right, there was some value in using QEMM's loadhigh without
    any specifications, and having some things manage to load high. Like my ANSI.SYS... and just in case... don't load SHARE high, it all looks good, but isn't doing anything :)

    When you create a VM, there's setting for machine type under system (440bx or Q35) and under CPU you can pick the type. One of those settings might be more compatible.

    Ponder. I don't know what I did now.. Not even sure how I created the
    original VM.. just that I cloned it for all the rest. 440BX off hand is
    going to be a roughly PIII Mobo, I could understand QEMM had problems with that.

    Is there a way to check the settings in an active VM?
