alright i just downloaded ultima 7 from here and am having problems playing it because it tells me to turn off expanded memory manager, or ems. i have no idea what any of that means, can someone please help me.

Sure, just get DosBox from this main site and play the game in it. k:

For Ultima 7 Exult is the best.

ok i did dl exult, i am also having problems with that. i dl both ultima and dos box using the links from this website. and i installed ultima, everything went smooth. when i type "ultima7" it goes to a blank screen, then switches to another saying "please remove expanded memory manager before running ultima VII." could somebody please tell me how to do that. i am positive my computer is compatible for this game, so please dont tell me that it might not be.

i am having the same problem. does anyone know how to turn off ems.

Just go to DOSbox.conf file in the dosbox directory open it with notepad and look for this line

[dos]
# xms -- Enable XMS support.
# ems -- Enable EMS support.
# umb -- Enable UMB support (false,true,max).

xms=true
ems=true
umb=true

and instead of ems=true you write ems=false that will desactivate the ems
save the file and done !
