Well everyone, I've been searching the forum and trying a variety of things mentioned in them to get Wing Commander Armada to work. For starters, WC Privateer works fine, and so I have already set EMS, XMS, and IPX to "false" when trying Armada. When I try to start Armada, it just stalls DOSBox (I get no error message at all, but I get a blinking cursor in the line immediately below the line I just typed in. So, I read on in the forums, and tried Magamo's use of "loadfix -64 armada", which results in DOSBox closing (whether it's in a window or full-screen mode, it just closes DOSBox and sends me back to my Win XP desktop after using "loadfix -64 armada")).
Furthermore, I have tried going into Armada's install program to install it (this works for Privateer, but for Armada it wants the floppy disks, which I don't have anymore (I'm using copies obtained from Home-of-the-Underdogs and Frenchkiss.biz, and they both do the same thing)). Also in Armada's install program, I have no sound devices selected in order to rule out any sound issues being the cause of the problems. I have tried starting the game with Sound Blaster selected for both music and sound, and the same thing happens: it just sits there after I type "armada", or it terminates DOSBox when using "loadfix -64 armada".
I am running Windows XP on a 2 GHz Celeron, with 512 MB RAM, and I am using DOSBox 0.63. Thanks for any suggestions, and sorry for the lengthy post.
