You should try Exult, which is designed solely for the purpose of running Ultima 7 & Serpent's Isle on newer operating systems. Just download it and read the site FAQ. It's pretty simple once you get it started. However, if you insist on using dosbox, check dosbox.conf, look for the value "ems=true" and change "true" to "false"

Works fine for me in DOSBox. Edit your dosbox.conf file so that the "dos" section looks like this:

umb=true
xms=true
ems=false

I just had the exact same problem. :blink: I'll check out that program you mentioned, and if that doesn't work I'll just change DOSbox. Thanks, guys! :ok:
