Error Message on Windows XP

[gunavision]

Hi,
Today is the first day I'm joining you all.
Is there anyone to help me?
When I logon to XP, it shows a msg :
... ERROR:An Extended Memory Manager is already installed. XMS Driver not installed.
What error is this? Currently, I'm doing a project using Authorware. I coudn't do a package because of this message. Pls help me...

When I click the packeged multimedia application, this msg is appear.
Hope you will help me. ...

Thanks..

You might need a little experimenting to figure whether it needs this mode to install the app or run the app or even both ...
