I have a Problem with the Game Caribbean Disaster.

The Game installs fine, but when i try to start ist the following message appears:

The Game seems to detect something in the DOSBox enviroment as "Game Wizard" Cheat Tool.
Is it possible to start the game anyway?

It decides that Game Wizard is active because the DOS and RTC interrupt handlers have the same segment. As a workaround, run the attached program in DOSBox before running the game; it changes the RTC handler address.

I ran into a problem in the game where a bunch of illegal memory access messages appear in the console and then the screen gets messed up. I haven't found any DOSBox settings that prevent this, and loadfix doesn't seem to help. The only solution I have found so far is to use the JEMM memory manager that you can get here. Set xms=false, ems=false, umb=false and then load JEMM in DOSBox like this: JEMMEX NOEMS LOAD
