What's the output of "mem /c /p"?

Hi and thank you for your help!
I'll check the output when I get home.

Thank you

Wrong forum. As per the description of this forum: "Getting old DOS games working on modern hardware. (DOSBox topics belong in DOSBox areas below, not here)." You should ask questions involving old hardware and driver/configuration in Marvin. Marvin, the Paranoid Android

Moved.

I'm very sorry for the wrong section.

Here is the output of 'mem /c /p'

Thank you

Yeah. Not sure if it's doable But let's try. Edit CONFIG.SYS and delete the line:

DOS=NOAUTO

There should be only one "DOS=" line in there, and look like this:

DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO

Reboot then check the output of "mem" and "mem /c /p" again. Do you get more than 542K now?

Also, you can disable SMARTDRV.EXE in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Put a "rem " before it to disable it.

Finally, I'm not sure if MSCDEX.EXE is even needed in Windows 98. Where is it loaded? If it's in C:\WINDOWS\DOSSTART.BAT, try to disable it there (again, put a "rem " before it to disable it.)

The output was from a "Exit to DOS" session, 1st option in Phil's Computer Lab starter menu... it is the same?

No, "exit to DOS" is not the same as normal DOS. To boot to clean DOS, you need to edit C:\MSDOS.SYS and in the "[Options]" section set "BootGUI=0". This will boot to clean DOS. To start Windows 98 from clean DOS you need to type "win" afterwards.

However, you might have problems with sound without an ISA sound card in DOS. So you might need to run the game in Windows 98.

Hey, don't make fun of Dreamweb. It's a hugely underrated and immensely atmospheric gem of a game. When I first got around to play it, my first thought was "how on earth didn't I know about this game before now?" 😀
