"Right-click on Aladdin.exe and go to the Memory tab. Max out Expanded & Extended Memory.
Click on OK to save. Use the .pif or .EXE to play the game!"

or use the VDMSound GUI to configure the memory.

My windows isn't in english so I don't know what is what (Expanded & Extended ).

They should show (abbreviated) as EMS and XMS or use VDMSound + LaucnhPad if under NT (LaucnhPad is in English).

V.

I have a menu only for XMS. Instead of the EMS menu there is a button that if I press it it says that EMS memory was not defiened for my comp. I have WIN98.

I'm going to assume you're running a Windows 9x box.

Replace your config.sys file with this:

1DOS=HIGH,UMB
2DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
3DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=B000-B7FF
4BUFFERS=20
5FILES=20

That'll turn EMS on and define some other things that may not have been in your original config.sys file.

Do I have to replace it?
I have things in that file...

Do you have to ask?
ALWAYS make a backup.
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS.
Save your old one as, for example, CONFIG.BAK, and this one as CONFIG.SYS.

That wasn't my question...
I asked if I keep the stuff inside...
I ALWAYS make backup 😀

Just post the contents of your config.sys file here, we'll be happy to help you edit it. 😀

Ah, yes, indeed. Just post yer config.sys here and we'll do all chopping and pasting and moving around of your stuff.

here it is:

DEVICE=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS
device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=972,862,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

If you would please, what's the size of ESSAUDIO.SYS, and what sound card is it for?
And what country do you live in? (heh...)

ESSAUDIO.SYS is an audio driver for sound cards/integrated sound chipsets made by ESS Technology, Inc. http://www.esstech.com/
Not sure which one, though. Maybe the Maestro 3?

The Display.Sys line has something to do with setting the system prompt text. Next line does as well.

Country code works out to Israel, believe it or not. Doesn't necessarily mean he/she's there, though...

Seems to me the display.sys line and the country line are just wasting valuable conventional memory.

I need to know how large the ESSAUDIO.SYS file is so that I can figure out whether to use DEVICEHIGH or not. (Though, when I used the SB driver with DEVICEHIGH, it spewed visual funkiness and froze my machine.)

Otherwise, 2DOSWIN's settings should port quite well.

It is 12K, I think I have a Sound Blaster (how do I check?)
And is there any problem with Israel?

If you're using an ESS audio driver, you've got an ESS card, not a Creative Labs card.
I didn't say anything about Israel, I just said that defining it wastes valuable bits that are needed to load other, more essential devices.

Language barrier problem. He is referring to the "country code", not the country.

So do I remove the line?
What does it do? Why is it there?

And my comp has an "ESS, on board, 16 bit" - whatever that means...

Okay. So. Use this.

DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=B000-B7FF
DEVICEHIGH=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS
BUFFERS=20
FILES=20

If your system freezes up when it's loading, go into safe mode command prompt and change DEVICEHIGH=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS to DEVICE=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS.
