Game: Wolf (1994)(Sanctuary Woods Inc Us Gold)

Desktop:
Pentium MMX 133
604K RAM
Sound Blaster Pro 2 CT1600
DOS 6.22

When I load the WOLF.EXE I get the following error: Program too big to fit into memory
I tried also to load the SETUP.EXE but it just hangs in DOS.

My AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS are as follows:

AUTOEXEC.BAT

Every time I've seen that error it's because the files were corrupted.

First of all, please check your available memory with "mem /c /p" command. If you have about 610-615KB conventional memory available, you most probably shouldn't have that problem. If not, you can still lower the conventional memory usage:

- I might be wrong but as far as I know, without loading EMM386.exe, "LH" or "devicehigh" commands will not work. They will just load their respective TSR's and drivers on conventional memory. So, even you want only XMS, you need to load emm386 with "NOEMS" command option.

- I also suggest you to use "ctmouse.exe" instead of your probably larger footprint mouse.exe /cloaking exe, and shsucdx.com instead of mscdex.exe.

- Try memmaker, it really works nicely.

Or try Qemm, it's a memmaker but a little bit different.
