Unhappy

i recently partitioned a 20gb deLL inspiron (1100) Laptop with XP-home on the originaL partition. i then instaLLed win98 on the new partition & tried to instaLL & run "UnderWorLd" but i canNOT get past the "Not enough EMS..." error.When i go into the "uw.exe" "properties menu/memory-tab/EMS memory-detaiLs" I get the message "Third-party memory-management software has not been configured for expanded memory ...bLabLabLa". After googLing the probLem & searching through past forum postings here - i tried reconfiguring my "config.sys" file 5 different ways; tried running it thru the "dosBox"; & even tried writing a "pif" fiLe. But so far NOTHING is working! what makes this even more frustating is that I successfuLLy performed this same partitioning operation on my desktop & encountered no probLems with "UnderworLd" or any of the other oLd games i've downLoaded. The whoLe point of putting a win98 partition on my husband's Laptop is for the "gaming". i reaLLy hope somebody can heLp me get past this snag.
pLeez heLp ... :crazy:
