Still can't get EMM386 running in pure DOS. I wonder if it's a compatibility issue or something?

Well! I created a WinMe boot disk. As per the instructions from the SBLIVE2SB16 download, I replaced the boot disk's HIMEM.SYS with the downloaded version, copied EMM386 to the floppy and moved the downloaded SBLIVE folder to C:\SBLIVE.

There's an old DOS game I've been playing lately called Bloodwych, and although it plays, I can't get the sound to work correctly. I'm running WinMe with a Soundblaster Live! (Value) card.
