[Rogue]

When you start your system, what happens and when?

[Omuletzu]

Tell you what, i'm going to copy the exact phrase that appears on the screen when i start my pc, and try to link it to the lines in the sys files.Where i fail, i'll let you try, ok?

[Omuletzu]

Anybody?

[Rogue]

I still do not understand what happens. I see your output when you start PC, but does it load? Do you get DOS prompt?

[Omuletzu]

Please read the first post, as i am too tired to repeat myself...

yes i get dos prompt, other games work, i only get such errors when playing the kyrandia series

[Rogue]

Sorry, I was thinking you have bigger problem.

There is small problem with your config.sys.

Delete 'RAM' from this line:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS RAM

so after you fix it, it should look like this:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS

Try then to play that game.

I set ems to 8Mb on my win98/dos computer and I had not problem with any games I tried so far.

[Omuletzu]

I tried both with RAM, then with NOEMS, then with both, and thern with neither of them, and it still didn't work... :angry:

thanks for trying though.I guess i'll just have to play the ripped version(which curiously enough, works :angry: :angry: :Titan: )

[Omuletzu]

*bump
How do set my emm386 to set half of my ram as extended, and half as expanded?
I have 96 Mb of Ram.
