![]() Hey all, First off great site and damn nice selection. It brings me back to the gold old days heehee
But on a more serious note, with my system which is a 1.8ghz p4 with 512mb ram dosbox runs beautifully .............. that is when it decides to run. Whenever I mount my games folder and try to run a game ( Another World - Specifically! ) it gives me a message: A memory manager has been detected and may impare performance......consult your dos manual etc. Now as far as i know I have no 3rd party memory managers and if xp sp2 has one then how can i disable it. Its just really annoying as the game may work from time to time but seems to crash when entering the code wheel codes. Thanks Ionize |

![]() Find these lines in your DOSBox Config file and make sure they read like this:
xms=true ems=false Then run the game - should be fine, I just tested it and it got rid of the error message! Hope that helps! |

![]() It might be because the game doesn't allow EMS and/or XMS (the latter would be surprising).
Go into the configuration file of your DOSBox version (Dosbox.conf, open it with notepad it's in fact a .txt file in disguise) and scroll down until you encounter those lines, by the end of the file: Quote:
Do not forget to change this back if you wish to play other games with DOSBox. Hope this help. Edit: Rats, the Mouse beat me to it. LOL |

![]() some games need both to be set to false (like zone66)
