Hello everyone,

i am trying to install Action Soccer (1995) on my Windows 98 SE guest system in PCem. The installation is not starting, because the game says: "You need more 5KB free to run".
The game manual says that this game needs 560KB free conventional memory to run. This is what i get if i enter MEM in the DOS prompt:

1Speichertyp         Gesamt =   Belegt +    Frei
2----------------  --------   --------   --------
3Konventionell         640K       100K       540K

13Freier EMS-Speicher                   16M (16,777,216 bytes)

Seems like i don't have enough free conventional memory. How can i fix that?
Here are my config.sys and autoexec.bat.
