Hi Guys and Girls,

Ok Guideline List first:
Motherboard: Gigabyte
Processor type and speed: AMD 5200+
Amount and type of RAM: 4Gig
Video board w/ RAM amount and type: Gefore 7950GX2 with 1GIG Ram
Sound board: Gigabyte onboard sound
Operating system: Win XP with SP2
Game name (and version, if applicable): Tamper (1993 Game)

Description of problem: I can run the game in XP but when i click on start new game then it says "Insufficient Disk Space".
At first i thought it is because the game is old and the new HD's are too big for the game to detect, then i tried Dosbox v0.72, and it does the same on DosBox. I even gave it a HD size like 10 Megs and even 40Megs inside DosBox but still it says "Insufficient Disk Space" inside the game. This is NOT a DosBox question as this game does the same if i just run it on Win XP without the DosBox. How can i make the game detect the right size or how can i bypass it? Maybe it is the game itself and if so does anybody have a working copy of this game?

Reproducibility of problem: Always
Sound mode used: Do not know
Video mode: I think it is Software and in XP it is 1280x1024 but inside DosBox i do not know.
Version of emulator: DosBox v0.72 but this was after i had problem in Win XP
Steps already attempted to solve the problem: As stated above in Description of problem section.

Tamper is an excellent game and would really enjoy to play it again.

I've heard people have had to use it on 10mb up to 100+ meg partitions.

Did you use the -freesize switch in DOSBox correctly? (Use the DIR command to verify that it worked).

Hi DosFreak,

Yes i first made it 10mb and verified this by Dir, that did not work so i changed it to 40Mb and that too did not work.
Yes i used freesize in dosbox v0.72

Thanks for the reply.

Maybe they use some direct access to the hard disk which doesn't work
under xp as well as dosbox. You could check that by using disk images
and installing dos on them (use bochs or so for that).
