thanx, thats easily, and for the most part already, told.

Working on a W2K OS, Sp4 installed.
I´m using Dosbox 6.2, with D-Fend v2 as a frontend.

With the Ultimas I just used my usual routine, unpacking the game files into a separate folder.

Then using D-fend to set up a program profile for Dosbox, taking all the D-fend presets, exept for the Memory managemant part, where I disabled XMS and EMS, and the Dos-memory settings, which I put up to 63MB.

Same way I did it with the CD last year, which worked fine. (though on a different hardware)

Dosbox produced no error messages at all
-
once in the Dosbox-dos screen I tried activating the .exe files, to which the response "illegal command *exe-file*"
Or spelled out: I did type in SI enter, and the DOs screen told me "illegal command SI.EXE."
that was it.
kind of like the .exe where no .exe. Remember that of the Dos-days, although theyre long gone and I was a kid by then
Redownloading didnt work.
Activating the files manually in a blank Dosbox-enviroment with deactivated EMS brought the same results.

I mean, this works fine on U6, Warcraft, Fantasygeneral an any number of other games.
*sigh*
Well, I just hoped, maybe somebody came up with the same problems and fond a way around

So, appreciate it if you got some ideas
