Windows Me's DOS is really weird. I try to avoid it like the plague. Without the Real Mode patch that you installed, Me's DOS completely ignores the config.sys and ignores everything except environment variables in the autoexec.bat It even uses the system.ini to load some of its settings.
XMS support gets loaded automatically. When you add device=himem.sys to the config.sys you're actually telling it to load himem.sys a second time.
It *may* do the same with emm386.
Try remming out both himem.sys and emm386.exe, in your config.sys Then reboot into real mode and run the mem command. Look for anything that it reports about upper and/or ems memory. Let us know what it says, then we can go from there.
