I can't get the game to work...

"Invalid startup directory, please check your pif file. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."

help? :help:

Can you tell us a bit more?

What sistem are you using (WinXP, WinME, Win9x, DOS...)?
Have you tried DOSBox (the game works fine with it)?

i am using win xp 1.8ghz 526 ram and dosbox and it keeps saying something about image files and i cant get it to run properly :help:

the actual error message i get is

pcxLibimage error : -22 In PutImageOnScreen

-.- Piracy protected? Cos i'm getting a "What class ship is this" with a picture thing on start up which I'm now going to see whenever it's right or not...

Well this is completely ridiculous. I have 224 MB RAM but it is telling me that my conventional memory is 570k and it must exceed 590k -- I know this somehow refers to DOS memory but my gosh with 224MB couldn't this problem somehow be solved?

That problem occurs quite often when you try to run DOS games under Windows.
Solution: download Dosbox here on Abandonia and run the game through that.

DOS uses the lower 640K of memory. Anything above 640K is expanded or extended memory(UMB). Back in the pre-Windows days we had to load anything we could in the upper memory to maintain enough available for games that need more than 512K of memory. It was done through an edit in the config.sys file.
Not knowing which Windows version you use, I can't help. Windos95 and lower handle most MS-DOS games very well.
