this is most possibly not a problem of dosemu but of your DOS
configuration within the emulator. most probably, you have loaded
too many drivers or TSR programs, and they filled the base memory
of which the program requires too much to get loaded.
at the DOS prompt, try the command "mem /d" to collect statistics
about memory usage of DOS and diverse driver programs.
on how to optimize memory usage, see the DOS help (assuming you're
using a MS version) to the "dos=high,umb" directive (config.sys),
"himem.sys", "emm386.exe", "devicehigh=..." and "loadhigh".
some DOS programs require base memory of 550K or sometimes even
up to 610K. optimizing your configuration properly should allow
you easily to have about 580K of free base memory.
hope you're having success, bye
