HunterZ or QBix, As far as the sound card issue; I was never able to get into the game itself...how would I change those settings without being able to launch the game??

MiniMax, I re-installed it to the default dir ( Program files). Now the config file changes stick. ( I could change cycles successfully) though I still get the "Fatal Error D002-FFFF - Program halted by code--JEMM unloaded" like I mentioned in the previous response. What the heck is that now??

Right, Ok, I'll get rid of it and start from scratch. I'll report back as soon as I have done that with my hopefully new, successful results. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.... here goes nothin'!

--I went ahead and edited the dosbox.conf file where it was.(I didn't move it back to DOSBox) --I changed EMS=false and cycles to 4321 and when I started DOSBox, it was running at 4321 cycles. --When I typed "priv" at C:\wingco~1\privat~1 , I received the following error: memory: original current …

I used Windows Search feature and deleted all files and shortcuts I could find; followed your instructions and got these results: I don't know why it went here and not the DOSBox directory, but when I did the writeconfig command it put it in: C:\Program Files\Common files\SYSTEM\Mapi\1033\95 I'm …

Hey, My dosbox.conf file is currently in the same directory as dosbox.exe ; they are both in C:\DOSBox\DOSBox-0.63 . ...and I'm not sure I am following that alternative way to start DOSBox; could you expand a little bit...? If my .conf file is already in the same directory as my .exe , what would be …

--I put DOSBox in C:\DOSBox -- my config file is in C:\DOSBox\DOSBox-0.63\ . I haven't therefore launched it thru Start>Programs because it's not in C:\Program Files . I have been launching DOSBox via the scroll up menu from the toolbar at the bottom of Windows. I'm guessing your next comment is …

Ok MiniMax, we may be getting somewhere. I used Notepad to change the cycles in dosbox.conf to 4321, but the change was not reflected when I restarted DOSBox. What would cause my editing dosbox.conf to not take effect when running DOSBox??? I appreciate all your help...

Thanks for the quick response... It is dosbox.conf I'm changing. I did restart DOSBox prior to trying the above.... I'm am at a real loss here... One bit of good news though, i got Starflight, the birthplace of my gaming life, to run just now and am doing cartwheels as I type!!! (OK, maybe not …

One other question I forgot to ask.... I am changing the XMS and EMS settings in dosbox.config by using WordPad. That is where I change those settings, correct??

MiniMax, Here is what i have done so far and the results I've gotten: *I checked my dosbox.config file to ensure I had xms=true and ems=false. (also tried as xms=false) (with DOSBox 0.63) *My games are in C:\oldgames *Opened DODBox and typed "mount c c:\oldgames" then "c:" to name the drive as "c". …

Exactly which settings are you speaking of? dosbox.config settings?

Hey, I tried xms=true and ems=false and got the same result. When I ran the mem command I got the following: 637 kb free conventional memory 15296 kb free extended memory 15296 kb free expanded memory what would you suggest at this point?

Hey, Here is my dosbox.config file..... I unzipped Privateer in C:\oldgames\Wing Commander Privateer\Privateer.... when I launch dosbox I mount c:\oldgames. I also tried mounting c:\oldgames\wing commander privateer\privateer and still got the same "protected mode" error that has been spoken of in …

OOps, I meant for this to actually be a response in the Wing Commander: Privateer, Armada topic...sorry bout that. Anyone with some insight as to why I still can't run this, I would love some help...

Hey Guys, I have tried the XMS and EMS=false options as well as setting sound and music to none. I still get the "Protected mode driver not responding..... "NOEMS' with "RAM" error message. It's super frustrating that what has worked for everyone else is not seeming to work for me. What is it that …
