DosBox: "Remove EMS memory manager?"

Hello. I tried to play Ultima VII Black Gate with DosBox. The DosBox window then said that in order to play Ultima VII, I should remove all EMS Memory Managers. I'm using Microsoft XP Home Edition...I haven't used memory manager in veeery long time so I don't know what to do. This may have to do with the config...but my tech skills are at a minimum 🙁

Thanks.

Hello. You need to disable EMS memory in DOSBOX's configuration file. To do this, you must do the following:

+ First of all, create a config file. Inside dosbox type: config -writeconf dosbox.conf

+ Exit DOSBOX

+ Edit the newly created dosbox.conf with a text editor, such as notepad.

+ Navigate to the memory section and set EMS to false. That will disable EMS.
