Hello! I'm installing a game. when I click !START it pops up 'Insufficient EMS or XMS' it needs 2.5 megabytes.
The system I use is windows XP, how do I solve this problem?

Thank you for time and assistance

You solve it by running dosgames in dosbox.
There are tutorials you could read to understand how it works.

thank you! I got it. now i'm to the next stage. the game i downloaded is Kyrandia 3: Malcolm's Reverge. DOSBox shows 'A CD-ROM device driver is required to run Kyrandia 3" what should I do?

sorry I'm new to this

It doesn't really matter whether that's your physical CD-ROM drive, a directory mounted with the -t cdrom argument or an ISO image mounted through IMGMOUNT - any of these will make DOSBox load it's CD-ROM drivers and thus allow the game to run.

mount d [YOUR CD DRIVE LETTER]:\ -t cdrom
Is the most practical, since it also lets you use your real CD-ROM drive in DOSBox. Or you can also use the CDEMU utility that is included with some of the downloadable versions of the game (including the one here, IIRC):

Mount your virtual C:
And double mount your games folder as CDdrive.
My game folder is e:\games\kyrand2\ , so for me it goes as this:

mount c e:\games\
mount d e:\games\kyrand3 -t cdrom
c:
cd kyrand3
runmain


Or do what Luchsen said, seems also to work.
