K, maybe I wasn't quite clear enough. I am trying to find out if there is a way to install THROUGH DOSbox since it sounds to me in other posts that other people have been able to have it installed without it and then run it through DOSbox. I already said that EMS was enabled for every program I …

No it will not install under normal XP. If it did I probably wouldn't have tried to use DOSbox would I? It gives me the same message in XP on install: error2 insufficient EMS. DOSbox gives me the error8 *null* message.

Deluxe requires VESA. I am also trying to get DEluxe working. For someone not as technilogically inclined as you guys, how would I go about doing that?

And in case this is in the wrong room, Deluxe originally was for DOS, just altered to run through DOS in windows.

Any of you ever played DEluxe? Or any of the earlier ones? I started in 91 playing Warlords 2 on a mac and it turned out it was the greatest thing ever. Then I got Deluxe for an old computer and was thrilled. Part of my childhood nonetheless. Deluxe works up to 98', but not XP or 2000. The Original …
