@baswitzer: read carefully.
It doesnt tell you that you neet more expandet memory - it does tell you that you need to shut don the expanded memory. U7 1/2 dont run while expanded memory mamager is working. theyre incompatible.
So what you do is , you use Dosbox, or exult, both already mentionened in ths thread. I dont know about exult, for not having used it, but i had no problem running U7 on dosbox together eith the Dosbox-frontend Defend
you shoud be easyly able to manage then, just install dosbox and Defend, correlate Defend to the dosbox location (it will ask you, dont worry), and the setup a Dosbox profile for U7, in which yiu can easily deactivate EMS and XMS)
But, towards another problem:
I had u7 running in dosbox without any problems half a year earlier. I had used a Ultima7complete CD then, which was borrowed.
Well, computer go boom, Disc got geturned, now I was happy to see, that it was finally available here (how do these things happen anyway ? Esa suddenly tells "Oh, its no longer protected, guys!" ?)
But after downloading, dezipping and activating a dosbox account, in DOSbox I get the message "Illegal Command SI.exe" respectively the name of the install exe. Same thing with Black gate.
What is up? Am I the only one getting this prob?
Archive or files crappy?
I`m out of my depth here, so please help.
