Hello
I had the same problem a few months ago with a system that came for repairs. The memory test and Himem.sys passed ok without any problems. In Control panel RAM reported was less than that installed. I found that client had installed EMM386 that was allocating memory for DOS only programs. A REM in config.sys in front of EMM386.EXE solved the problem. Hope it works for you.

I sold the system and when the customer was trying to install a program that required 32 MB of RAM, the program would not install stating there was not enough memory. What caused this? Microsoft tech support was no help.
