Unhappy

Hello

Apparently I don't have an "expanded memory manager installed" Instructions in game say to add a line to my config.sys - Oh dear, do I have a config. sys?

It also suggested making a Boot Disk

I am very inexperienced with Dos and don't want to mess up my PC.

Can anyone advise me carefully what to do please?

Thank you

Would be very gratefully received, Vipin!

Have installed this Boot Disk prog onto a floppy like it says. At what stage do I put it into the floppy drive? Do I just do it when at Desktop before trying to play game? It reboots the computer in such a way to free up some of this memory, is that right? Does the PC then open in DOS?

Sorry for all the ??? but I like to know what I'm getting into before starting it!!

Tried to start Escape from Delirium in DOSBox but it said "must be run under Win32". What does that mean as Game review shows it a DOSBox compatible. NB I have extracted it to one of the DOSBox CDRIVE folders and it shows up when entering \dir

Many thanks
Jo :crazy:
