Re: Dragon Lore (not enough "low memory")

Originally posted by ffhighwind It seems there is not enough standard memory available to run the game. Even if you have plenty of high memory, you need to have at least about 597Kb of free low memory. Low memory available: 583K Requested memory: 597K Uh-oh. That's not good. IIRC, this needs low- …

Ok. This is one of those "Twilight Zone" issues. On my present PC, it works. The exact same CD running on the exact same OS on another motherboard acts just like it did with XP Home. Multiple installs can't seem to get it going properly. My guess is that it only runs properly on "certain" …

How was I to know that when I connected my 64MB USB drive to my USB port and reboot that I would come across this amazing discovery. XP found that, instead of a measly 64 megabytes, there were seven partitions on it: 257 Gig 667 Gig 257 Gig 10 Meg 250 Gig 260 Gig 873 Gig More than 2500 Gigs of …

Originally posted by Sam Stoat I'm using XP Pro. I also have SP1 installed, could it be that? Curioser and curioser. It could be. Hard to tell, as this is the first time I've heard of a game running fine in one version of XP, but not another. Hrmm... Will test again when I get a chance.

Now THAT was odd. XP Home: Just as you described, no visible mouse (but it's there...at least on the 1st menus). Tried with three different sets of video drivers and there appears to be no (as you said) patches available. XP Pro: Surprisingly, worked fine. Nothing special was done (no compatibility …
