34845 2002-02-07 23:49:00 I recently downloaded Betrayal at Krondor from the underdogs.org. It wont work in Windows ME mode, so i made a boot disk from control panel
, to get to MS DOS mode.


However the game says it does not have enough extended memory. I however do, according to mem /c /p, as i have over 250 MB of extended memory. I think that this is because Windows ME co ordinated the extended memory itself, rather than Himem.sys.

please help me.

I use Windows ME, i have 256 mg of ram, an athon 1400, and a 40 gb hard disk.

34847 2002-02-08 02:01:00 You will have to experiment with EMM386 to get extended/expanded memory.

The easiest solution might be to have a 'real' DOS boot disk. If you've got a set of DOS disks you can install it to a floppy. Then 'memmaker' will adjust the memory for you. (You can download DRDos free).

One game I got going in the DOS window of ME was 'Heart of China'. I had to set it to use the CPU speaker as sound, because it could not recognise the onboard PCI sound.
