Hello all,
I have 16MB on my real retro system system, and I get this error message on select games (Gabriel Knight CD being one of them). Is there a fix for this?

This is my system:
PCChips M919 VER 3.3B/F, also know as Amptron DX-9700
Re: 386 / 486 Build: Your Suggestions Please?

Thanks!

Not enough free conventional memory. Whats in your config.sys and autoexec.bat?

You should be able to run mem /c to see how much free conventional memory you have and what TSRs are using it up

That, or the exe file you're trying to run is corrupted.

Yeah most likely not enough conventional memory free.
