Sorry. I misunderstood. :blink:

I was under the impression that DosBox didn't work on Win98!

I shall remember that!

Now I come to think of it - I don't even know where I got that idea from! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

twist,
Open your config.sys file for editing (notepad is fine; file is in C drive, root directory (top directory).

Look if there is a line similar to this:

DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS

and change it to

DEVICE=EMM386.EXE RAM

Reboot computer and try game again.

Probably from the numerous persons posting in troubleshooting stating it doesn't work on Win98...

Anubis: you got it right. If it's not it it's really close.

Cool

GOT IT :Brain: :w00t: !!! . . . . . :whistle:

i came back to share my Fix in case somebody eLse runs into the same probLem. In my search for an answer i was made aware that Laptops, & in particuLar, deLL Laptops have (as one tek put it) an "eviL memory gremLin". Adding the foLLowing Line to my Config.sys FiLe has (so far) banished my gremLin:

DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE 1024 FRAME=D000

I reaLLy appreciate the great responses i received here ... :tnx:

p.s. fun smiLies!!!

It's his way to show that he has the power. Don't mind it, you won't be banned.
