That is a strange one... Try loading SHARE as soon as possible in your
config.sys (or is it autoexec.bat?).  Like, right after the line that
loads QEMM.

If that doesn't do it, then do it the hard way... REM out the other items
in your config files one at a time, 'till you have some success.  Maybe
it's another TSR that's getting in the way?

Or, maybe you can rename SHARE.exe to SSHARE.exe and try to load that?
Worth a try, although it wouldn't solve the mystery.
