Cannot use Equation Editor in Word

Equation Editor will not work in Word 6.0. I get the
following error msg "The server application, source file, or
item cannot be found". I can get the executable for Eq Ed
to run in Program Manager the first time I turn on the
computer but not in Word. I have reinstalled Microsoft Office
making sure Eq Ed is checked to install. The three Eq Ed
files are on my hard drive but it will not run. I have tried
loading only certain things high and also did Memmaker but
is still does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Additional comments:

- Using MS Dos 6.22
- Windows for Workgroups
- The following eqnedit files are located in the C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\EQUATION directory:
eqnedit.exe eqnedit.hlp eqnedit2.reg
- The eqnedit.ini file is located in the C:\WINDOWS directory

Where are the eqnedit files on your hard disk?
Which operating system are you using?

As a rule, NEVER USE MEMMAKER! it's very buggy, and i'm amazed it didn't make your problem worse of create new ones. I'm sorry i don't have an answer, but please for everyone's sake, DO NOT USE MEMMAKER! It's terrible, and has destroyed more computers than windows3.1 and lightning storms combined!!! if you MUST use a mem manager, get QEMM, it's very good and resonably priced.
