General Info
OS - WinME
Sound Card - ESS Allegro 1988
Sound Driver - 5.12.1159

Problem 1 - Theme Hospital
"heap allocation error" - if i choose to have digital sound and midi.
OK - if i choose only midi

Problem 2 - Taiwan Mahjong
"Runtime error at XXXX:XXXX" where XXXX is a string of hex value
i encounter this problem whenever i try to run setup for the game ... used to be able to run till i transfer the harddisk to another system
however, the program still can run just that i cannot check my sound setting

Problem 3 - Taiwan Mahjong
"MJPLAY.EXE out of memory module at XXXX:XXXX"
similar to problem 2 except that this time the program refused to run on another computer of mine, can run setup but cannot execute the main program.

Solutions Tried for Problem 2 & 3:
- shift the program to another directory
- change the conventional memory to 600KB/AUTO
- check and unchecked the protected mode for memory
- Allocate XMS alone/EMS alone or BOTH
- prevent the program from detecting windows

Problem 1 Resolution - use the Windows version.
Problems 2 & 3 Resolution - Patch Turbo Pascal so it works properly. Also make sure that all the files are NOT read-only and that they ARE archive.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Found a Taiwanese newsgroups posting in Google Groups (search term: mjplay)

Seemed to recommend booting into Pure DOS. If this second computer runs WinMe too, there's a way to add that ability...
