CT needs to access extended memory using a memory manager that is VCPI
(virtual control program interface) or DPMI (DOS protected mode memory
interface) compatible. Typically that will be HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE.
Check your CONFIG.SYS for commands such as the following:
DEVICE=C:\SYS\himem.sys
DEVICE=C:\SYS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
Here's a small utility you can run to identify what memory managers are
present in your system.
