I have tried several times to get expanded memory to work for Dos programs on my Omnibook 7100. Are there hardware limitations that would prevent expanded memory from working?

If you go to the properties of a DOS based program's properties, under the memory tab, under expanded (EMS) memory it states "The computer is not configured for expanded memory in MS-DOS sessions" If I try running the "MS DOS for Games with support for XMS and EMS" shortcut in the windows folder, the computer restarts but states the following:
"Unable to set page frame base address"
and then it proceeds and says that expanded memory services unavailable. I've tried HP tech support, they gave me modifications to the autoexec and config files but they came up with the same errors. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
