Try to disable from the BIOS any stuff you may not be using under pure DOS and has drivers under Windows (such as onboard RAID controllers, SCSI cards, or support for USB mice and keyboards.) Regions in memory are allocated by the BIOS for these things in order to support real DOS, but WIndows already has drivers and the regions allocated in memory (which interfere with EMS) may in most cases be redundant.
