I have an old Win98SE system at my mother's house with QEMM. I tried installing QEMM for DOS and after the driver loads, the computer stops booting. The keyboard works, but the computer just stops. What do I need to do to get QEMM to work?

Get emm386.* from the win98 computer.

It should have it ,or search setup floppys/Cd for it.
Dont mix system files from w89 and DOS.
Delete the emm386.exe and its entry in config.sys and try reboot.
I just checked the bootfloppy, it does not contain or use emm386.

It stops booting while in DOS mode, and I mainly need it for a special DOS setup.

I would *STRONGLY* advocate for a menu in config.sys (if it still works

in '9x) and only enabling QEMM when working in DOS mode.
Aside: I think you can force the '9x boot menu to always display, with
a default, including the old DOS option. -- I know that the old DOS
option supports a config.sys menu in the DOS config.sys.

The problem occurs in DOS mode at start-up.

Sorry, DOS mode is somewhat ambiguous.

Are you booting MS-DOS 7.x or an older version of MS-DOS?
QEMM /may/ /not/ be compatible with MS-DOS 7.x.

Dude, you shouldn't use DOS if you can't troubleshoot or doesn't bother
figuring out constructive hints.
