THIS is the only thing I have found. You may email 3DRealms asking for support.

I think I have a Sound Blaster DMA conflict. I think so, because the program crashed with static when I switched characters in E2M2. I read through the rochelp.exe, but I find this manual to be very confusing. I don't know if I should just start the Sound Blaster 16 setup to reset the DMA channels or manually reset them,
if I have to manually reset the DMA channel, please explain me the process of doing this. If anybody else owns the registered version of Realms Of Chaos and had the problems that I had, I would like to know what happened and how you solved it. Gosh its a shame that I spend my well-earned money on
this game, and I'm having problems with it...

Well, the shareware version seems to work just fine under DOSBox.

You should give DOSBox a try -> DOSBox 0.63

He's playing on a 200MHz Pentium...

Is there a patch on dlh.net?

Damn. I always forget to take CPU into account.

No. I checked dlh.net and it weren't any patches. I also checked official support at Apogee. No luck either.

I don't know. He could post the contents of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT - Maybe there's something bad there.

Another idea is to try out MS-DOS 6.22 instead of PC-DOS 6.x

I had both MS-DOS 6.22 and PC-DOS 7.0 (IBM) and I found out MS-DOS to be more compatible. PC-DOS was good, but it failed with certain applications.

Here is what I will do, I will PM you my Autoexec lines and Config lines, and if there is something wrong with my lines, you explain to me about the errors on
the lines.

It's okay to me. PM to me your config.sys and autoexec.bat and I can suggest some changes if needed.

El_PUSHER, PM!

I have already replied you. Check your mail.

I checked my private messages and I got nothing.

Oh, my e-mail, Never mind, thanks!

Somehow I feared that... Well I put it here...

CHANGES ARE IN BOLD... TEXT IN BRACKETS ARE REMARKS.

REMEMBER TO BACKUP ANY FILE PRIOR TO MODIFYING IT...

Unfortunately, after I booted up PC-DOS, the thing would not take me to the command prompt, instead, all the sutoexec lines would keep going, no stop. Should I get rid of the /P?

Yes. But double-check everything and look my previous post. I have updated the info.

Ok, I will exit Win 2000 and boot into PC DOS 6.3.

My Pentium 200 dual boots with PC DOS and Win 2000 just to let you know.

There we go, from the 40 second testing that I did, I found a difference!
There is no more crashing. (Not 100% sure)
Thanks for making the changes to the files, I deleted /P like you suggested
and everything loaded with no problem, the Command prompt program came with with no probs.
Now, I will play through ROC, and if there is anyhting else, know will I let you! 🤣

Keep testing. Now time for me to go to sleep. See you.
