I'm sorry Iowan, I will be more specific this time. First off let's forget about running the game in DOS because I just tested it in Win 98 and it runs fine. Here's what you need to do.



1. Right click black.exe and create a shortcut. This will add an icon to your folder that will have the MSDOS logo.



2. Right click the new shortcut icon and select properties. You will now be presented with a properties window with a number of tabs across the top.



3. Click on the "program" tab and click the advanced button. Select the radio button that says "keep program from detecting windows. The top two radio buttons should now be selected. Click "OK".



4. Click on the "memory" tab and change both the expanded memory and extended memory to "auto".



5. Click on the "apply" button at the bottom.



6. Do not try to change the screen settings to have the game play in a window it will only play in Full Screen mode.



6. Start the game (now and from now on) by clicking the new MSDOS icon. In the future you don't need to reconfigure the game as long as the PIF file (MSDOS icon) is there and you select it to start.



Note: I notice in the game documentation that you can speed up the game in WIN 95/98 by typing the word FASTER while playing. Works similar to a cheat code.
