I'm trying to run ecoquest 2: lost secret of the rainforest and it goes back to windows. Then I tried running it in dosbox and while still in dosbox, it says that I need 207088 more bytes to run. Where do I go to free up more space? I'm on an XP with 512 MB of RAM. I dont know if this will help but this is what the config file says:

videoDrv = VGA320.DRV
soundDrv = MT32.DRV
audioDrv = AUDTHUND.DRV
joyDrv = NO
kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV
mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV
memoryDrv = ARM.DRV
minhunk = 500k
language = 1
patchDir = .\
cmd = sierra

Also, does anyone know where I could get another copy of the game besides GameTZ.com? I think theres something wrong with the resource file on disk 2 or 3. I REALLY love this game and I'd like to play it again.

edit dosbox.conf (a file)

In dosbox.conf (in dosbox directory), increase "memory" size. README should explain.
If you don't have dosbox.conf, type in dosbox: config -writeconf dosbox.conf
If it doesn't help, try also with changing "xms" and "ems".

the config file says

memsize=16

is there a limit of how high it can go? is there a reccomendation of how much it can be?
