according to norton guide:
Dos Error 83   =>     Fail on INT 24H      (very
  enlightening <G>)
Now you have to do a search into Ralf Brown's (freely
  available & invaluable) Interrupt List where you can find
  a more informative reference about INT 24H... Things to
  start suspecting should spread from sharing/lock
  violations to hardware errors (disk errors/insufficient
  disk space etc).
Unfortunately  i'm not a real (nor unreal <g>) interrupt
  guru, so i'm not sure if this hint should be useful for
  your case..

From Ralf Brown:
Int 24  C - Dos 1+ - Critical Error Handler
Notes: invoked when a critical (usually hardware) error is
  encountered by DOS (see #2231); should never be called
  directly. when DOS terminates a program, it copies the
  previous value of the INT 24 vector out of the PSP (see
  #1066) and into the interrupt vector table
See Also: INT 21/AH=95h

Config.nt I usually set at files=255 buffers=80

Remember that under NT you can program the shortcut of any
  say DOS application.
On the shortcut properties tab you can set the WindowsNT
  button to point to a custom autoexec.bat batch file or
  custom config.sys file which overrides the config.nt
For example I need a custom environment for Clipper and
  other products so I can start the environment via a
  shortcut which sets everything up via a custom
  autoexec.bat and when I exit the environment is back to
  normal.

Olivier,

Is Share.Exe being loaded? If so, you need to set the /f. I
  can't remember the exact syntax, but it's something along
  the lines of /f:4096
