Since this seems to be the topic to be in, I too am having troubles with Ultima 7. I'm not computer savey and my problem is one that's been preventing me from playing Ultima 7 for years.

It keeps asking me to remove my Epanded Memory manager before running Ultima 7? Does this sound like something that can be easily fixed?

The How to for the computer unsavvy:

either static (one time action, but you might have to change it back in order to play other games):
open your dosbox.conf in your DOSBox program directory (simply via the shortcut in the Start Menu if installed so) and change ems=true under the [dos] section to ems=false, then save
or dynamic (in every new DOSBox session, but "no" problems with other games):
>config -set dos ems=false

[nitpicking]
Simpliest thing to do for total n00bs when you want to play that game:
run dosbox and@the prompt input
ems false
and hit < enter >
No need to 'set' or 'write' anything.
[/nitpicking]
Works also fine.

Works 100% for me and a zillion of others.

Quite simple:
input
ems false
and then
ems
to see the result.

Of course you need to do it everytime you run dosbox.

Did you hit < enter > after inputting a line? Doesn't seem so ....

[Edit]
You should at least have a respons after the ems input, dosbox displays the 'true' or 'false' ....

[Edit²]
Damn, I even can't get it NOT working, whatever I do .... LMAO. Custom keyb layout, Z: or C:, whatever I try it works.

How to, for really computer unsavy:
1. Download this: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/att...4&d=1209413074
2. Unpack it into the ditectory you mounted as your C drive in DOSBox
3. Run DOSBox and mount your C drive.
4. Type in memory and press Enter.
5. The menu is self-explanatory.

And that's it.
