When using the command: pd -lib /pd/gem/Gem

As you guessed, this means that Windows can't find the pd executable. You can either use the full path (as below), or add the pd/bin directory to your path (this is more difficult under Win95 than under WinNT).
The command: \pd\bin\pd -lib \pd\gem\Gem
Causes the PD MSDOS window will appear for one second and close.
My guess is that the slashes are the problem. Try doing:
\pd\bin\pd -lib /pd/gem/Gem
All arguments for the -lib flag have to have '/' slashes. I suppose that someday Miller or I will fix this, but it isn't a high priority.
Will Virtual Memory or Graphics Acceleration effect GEM in any way. I would rather not change those settings because the mess up my MIDI/Digital Audio Sequencer- Logic Audio. Thanks to everyone who is trying to help.
No. In fact, GEM is pretty useless without graphics acceleration (must be OpenGL though). In WinNT, you can't turn off virtual memory (or at least I haven't found a way). Virtual memory only causes problems on the Macintosh, due to the memory model that they use.
