It's not within DosBox, it's the Dosbox config file you must edit.
In the osBox folder, open the dosbox CONF file. You know, the config file. Open it with Notepad.
Ok now, search for "ems=true".
Simply change this value by removing the "true" and typing in "false" instead. Now save the config, reboot DosBox and start it up.

Thanks guys for the help i made the change in the dosbox.conf file and set ems = false, now the game works, but I set my sound card as general midi, there is music, but no speech! Anyone out there know how to activate the speech in strike commander?

Thanks

Dave

I got the speech and sound working, thanks a lot to cuttock!! I really appreciate it, now one last thing, the gameplay while flying is quote gerky and slow, any ideas, if i press Crtl+F12 while playing to overclock the cpu will this speed things up perhaps? Also does anyone know where I can download the keyboard controls for Strike Commander From?? Many thanks....dave

Dave, try upping the Frame Skip (default = 0) to 1 or 2, either in the dosbox.conf or with one of the CTRL-Fn keys.

Check out the Wiki (see signature) for info how to run ressource demanding games.

Thanks for the adic MiniMax! you guys rule!

I have a follow ques on this topic.

I cannot get the sound to work. In the game config, after selecting 'Sound Blaster' as my card, I get an error if I try to run it. The game will start if I select 'no card' in the sound config.

Also, increasing the frame skip does not seem to offer much improvement for me. I gather from FAQ's that 'core=dynamic' probably won't work for protected mode games.

Thanks
