Your post is a little unclear. Are you sure you've actually downloaded, installed and are using the program called "DOSBox" and that you're not referring to Windows XP's built-in emulation?

XP's virtual memory is not detectable to a program running in DOSBox.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I've downloaded & installed DosBox, and I'm trying to run Stonekeep from within DosBox.

I've amended the dosbox.conf file to autorun the following:

mount c c:\ mount d f:\ -t cdrom c: cd intrplay cd stonkeep […]

mount c c:\
mount d f:\ -t cdrom
c:
cd intrplay
cd stonkeep

but otherwise I haven't tweaked any settings.

When I type sk ( Stonekeep's start up file is sk.bat) I get a message saying that DOS/4GW is starting, then the message:

'ERROR: 'Stonekeep cannot run with virtual memory active'.

sk.bat has the following lines:

@echo off
set dos4gvm=eregcard
D:\data\SK.EXE %1 OTHER_OS

Any ideas?

Thanks

OK, as you mentioned that XP's virtual memory cannot be accessed from within DOSBOX, I thought maybe that the error message was incorrect, and that perhaps the problem was somewhere else.
I double checked all the settings and found that the SB IRQ was different in Stonekeep to the setting in DosBox.conf.

Changing that has done the trick

Thanks

Weird. Thanks for reporting the fix.
