Have you tried using a bootdisk? It's the classic solution to memory problems in dos.

If you can't be bothered to make a bootdisk, check your config.sys and autoexec.bat for any TSRs lurking about, and remove them temporarily. Or, rename your config.sys and autoexec.bat and make new ones with only the bare essentials. Just swap between the two whenever you need to.

Try removing  device=emm386.exe (I remember it being an unnecessary memory burden from memory.) It's not my fault if it screws your computer, though. ;D

Also try any of sierra's "install" programs from SCI1 games to adjust your configuration. If you put all the drivers from LSL1VGA in the SCIVGA directory you will have a wide variety to choose from. Making "no sound" and such can help.
