Yes I know that but when you restart, the lines you insert in the game's PIF properties won't be the only ones to load, they're additional. I'm guessing the rest is in the PIFs in \WINDOWS you mention, but I don't know --and it really doesn't matter because they'll be necessary. For example, if you didn't add anything I think you'd have XMS and EMS but not mouse support, for that you had to add the DOS mouse driver line in the PIF. But here we are guessing that MM hasn't added any lines to the PIF of the game he's trying to run, has he?

So the only piece of advice I can give you MM, is configure the game's PIF so that there's no EMS support. The game won't work if it needs EMS, and even if it doesn't it could need more memory than the amount you save doing this. The truth is that, contrarily to what many say, not all old games work in Win95/98, and many of them produce other problems in addition to insufficient low memory.
