Iowa, In DOS are you loading EMM386.EXE in your config.sys file? If so, paste the line here so I can see it. There are certain things that can and can't be on it in your case. If it has the NOEMS switch in there you need to get rid of NOEMS and replace it with RAM so that expanded memory is available.
If you are trying to run the DOS program in Win98 it is better to work with the PIF file for black.exe which would be named black.pif (will have an MSDOS icon). Right click black.pif and edit it to change the memory configuration. Make sure that it is providing expanded memory and then you can start the program by clicking the black.pif icon. Before I started using DOSBox I used to use this method all the time and it worked more often than not.

Darn it all, I hate it when this happens, here you are providing perfectly reliable help to me and here I sit with my abysmal knowledge of DOS completely unable to understand what you are saying...
However, in my directory, I have neither a "config.sys" nor a "black.pif". These are the files in my directory:
Crack.com
Setup.exe
Black.exe
Data.dat
Am I missing files or something? Because I don't belive I can edit the "data.dat" file, whenever I try to do so, it's just a huge list of symbols and what I presume to be the layout for in-game text displayed.
Sorry for me being so challenged
