Hi Dale.

First of all this is the Win95 forum, you should have posted in Win98.

I'm not sure about the xms driver I don't think I use them but your himem.sys should 
be loaded from your Config.sys.

My Config.sys.

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=044,437,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

044,437 is the English keyboard but its not necessary.

Make sure you have Himem.sys and Emm386.exe are in your Windows folder.

You can start the comp up in Safe Mode and use NotePad or type Edit C:\Config.sys 
in DOS.

As for the lines on your screen I would first update your video drivers to eliminate 
those.
