Okay, I have no idea what NTVDM is, or that there's even a config.nt apart from config.sys, but I'm going to change it straight away. And make sure my boyfriend gets to hear about this, heh. Will let you know about any change tomorrow. :) Edit: do I need to keep the /Testmem:off part, or does that …

Hm, Avast looks good. I'll go replace AVG with this one then, and see what that does. I'm about to hit the hay, though, so I can't test it until tomorrow. That line I got from my boyfriend, among a few others; he dictated those lines to me and told me to add them, because they had helped the …

I suggest putting those onto a bootdisk as it requires removal of your AV and other programs. Well, I always save a copy onto my disk before I make modifications to any of the important files, but what do you mean it removes my AV? AVG, that's my virus scanner; do you mean to say I should get rid …

It took me a while to get back, but I haven't been near my own computer for the last few days. I tried the suggestion made, but it wasn't much help for (at least) Pinball Fantasies. When I tried to launch Pinball Fantasies - I have to do so from MS DOS - I get the following error: "Pinball Fantasies …

So you need to (re)move some of the stuff that is using up memory. I'm afraid I know too little of computers to know which programs are using up DOS memory. But as I said before, I even tried formatting my comp and installing only Windows and the drivers, and even then did it not work. I'm lost on …

Okay, now that I'm back to my own computer I can write down what MS DOS told me. I ran 'mem' and this came out: ------------------------------------ Memory Type.........|..Total.........|.....Used........|......Free conventional................640k..............167k...............473k upper …

From what I understood, the problem isn't the sound on itself. At least, when I ran the setup for Pinball Fantasies and selected "no sound" the game worked perfectly well. The problem seems to be the memory. Both with Pinball Fantasies and with Eye of the Beholder II do I get the error that there …

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I guess I'll just have to forget about DOSbox then. But thanks for the attempt, anyway. :) But could anyone tell me, then, how come that some of the DOS games suddenly don't work any longer? And what I can do about that? Because I really wish to play Pinball Fantasies and …

I can't type anything in DOSbox. Right now I tried launching it again, and I got the same weird occurance as on the screenshot I previously linked to: a lot of windows inside the "DOSBox 0.63,Cpu Cucles: 3000, Frame Skip 0, Program: DOSBox" window.

Right, so probably I won't be able tos uccessfully run DOSbox. Well, that I can understand. But then I still don't get how games do run perfectly well at first, and then refuse to start up later. I have played Monkey Island 1 here without any problem, and then suddenly when I try to start up the …

Yes, I did try them all. Only the opengl and openglnb didn't give me the error. Low-budget, eh? Well, could've expected that. Yes, it's an on-board integrated thing, and that's all the information I have been given about it. But if it's on-board, how on earth can I replace it? Wouldn't that mean …

Well, yesterday I updated those drivers, and then I got one single window that didn't disappeared, but now everything is like it was at first. So yeah, now I get both windows again. But after a few seconds... *poof*, they're both gone. And the first window says that it fails rendering output again. …

Well, I went to S3's site, and downloaded+installed what I thought were the right drivers for my card and OS. After having rebooted the computer, I now have made a little progress. The DOSbox window doesn't disappear anymore, nor do I get error messages. But. I do see a (horizontal) cursor blinking …

I went to the site, went to Download -> SDL 1.2, got lost there. I downloaded the .zip file listed under Source Code, but that's an awful lot of files. I thought I only had to download another version of the sdl.dll file, am I mistaken? Or did I look in the wrong place? As for upgrading the video …

Since I started to have problems with a few DOS games (problems I didn't have before while nothing crucial has changed, oddly enough), a friend recommended installing DOSbox. It didn't work at first, and now I've downloaded the newer version 0.63 (as opposed to 0.60) to see if that worked. Nada. I …
