Wing Commander CIC

Well, surprise, surprise, i have a Privateer problem. It seems that no matter WHAT I do in terms of editing the config.sys and autoexec.bat files I continually get the nagging message of "Insufficient DOS Memory to run this program. Please consult manuals, blah blah."

I've tried freeing up all my memory to EMS, that didn't work. I've tried the XMS setting (In the manual it gave an XMS Config file example...except the only difference between it and the EMS was the EMM386...anyways)

Does anyone know what in the holy hell is causing this problem? Just in case you need my Config and Autoexec files, i've pasted them below:
--------------------------------------------------------

Autoexec.bat
------------

SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
C:

Config.sys
----------
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS

       //Note - I tried with the /I parameter too..same results.

Hehe, I love the code tag. Oh, BTW, above it says 64 for the Total EMS. In dos, that number changes, depending what I put in for the value in the config.sys file (which you know of course!)
