Don't really think it is the memory (or lack of) unless the memory failed.
More than likely you are missing either the DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS or
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS.  If either of these two are missing in
a system with such a small amount of RAM then windows will not operate, you
would not have enough conventional memory left.
