Bootup Error Message

Just fired up my new Dell Dimension today. Each time it boots I get the following message:

"Windows Expanded Memory Driver 4.95. EMM 386 Not Installed. Unable to set Page Frame Base Address.
Press any key to continue"

Even if you don't press anything, after about 15 seconds the computer finishes booting with a message that the EMM 386 is working OK and all is well.

Anybody know a way to stop this message??
Thanks!
Alan

    NEVER MIND!! The answer was elsewhere in DellTalk! In case anyone else is having this problem, you need to modify the EMM386 statement in your config.sys file. If you change the device statement to:

    DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE M6 I=E000-E3FF

    you'll be fine!
