If I enable both HIMEM.SYS and EMM386, EMM386 will crash with a compatibility error between the two, you can't run both HIMEM and EMM386 in DR. DOS 7.03

I just installed Caldera DR-DOS 7.03, again got the CD working and aweutil for my AWE32 PnP working with the sound blaster CTCU CTCM drivers, installed Windows 3.11 and a windows game seems to work just fine. I then proceeded to retry the games which gave me the memory errors on 6.22 that day, …

Second day of OS/2 testing here, anyway, does anyone know why some DOS games start in DOS fullscreen session if I load them from the CD, but crash if I copy them in C:\ ?

I still have to check if Caldera Dr. DOS 7.03 will fix the memory issues, I remember using it in my Olivetti 486 rig and was as stable as 6.22, Windows 3.11 worked perfectly

When I tried DOS 7.10, I remember that Windows 3.11 crashed every time I tried to run it, some games like Quake would crash with a BSoD (Black Screen of Death), with a bunch of run time and memory errors, Rayman used to freeze my keyboard after the Ubisoft logo and so on, are these examples enough …

Today I finally got to try and use OS/2 for my first time, it's OS/2 Warp 4.52, the backstory is as follows: Due to formatting my Celeron's rig hardisk, I had to reinstall MS-DOS 6.22, but since I installed the mouse, CD-ROM and sound card drivers along with Windows 3.11, it had memory problems (for …

I know I forgot to mention a few things, first of all I forgot to mention how much free conventional memory there was, but I assure you it was less than 520k, mem always reported as largest program executable around 512 to 520k whereas some games such as Realms of Chaos (ROC) required more than 525 …
MS-DOS 6.22 memory problem
Posted on 2018-03-18, 10:23
Hi, I've been using MS-DOS 6.22 for almost 2 years now in my Celeron rig, it always worked perfectly, in fact it's been my best DOS computer so far, recently I had to swap the hardisk with another one due to some bad sectors in the previous one and not being able to 100% use it under Windows 98 (I …

EDIT: I noticed something weird when I tried different graphics cards on the 5DVX with the Pentium-S 120. While I was using the S3 Trio Virge DX, the heatsink was completely cold, even while playing DOOM and Rise of the Triad, when I swapped it with the older S3 Virge, the heatsink started getting …

Hi, I've just discovered these 2 emulators called PCem and 86box, which are similar to each other, but 86box comes with a little bit more features and even fixes the cursor issue I had on PCem (on PCem the cursor flies all over and just disappears, while on 86box I can use it just fine). I set a …
Re: AGP graphics card not detected by games after drivers installed

I had these issues even with an English version of 98SE. I think it's more driver related than anything else, I tried every single Forceware driver compatible with the FX5500 so far, I only need to try that DX version you linked and the 4x custom drivers someone mentioned earlier in the thread.

We could use a temporary "invitation code" system, with only 1 or 2 codes per user so they can't let in a spam army.

Re: Trying to dual boot DOS 6.22 and Windows 95 on same drive

Honestly, I have no idea, I managed recently (this Summer) to get a dual DOS and Windows boot to work in my Celeron build. In the end I used XFDISK to format the drive, create the 3 partitions (one so I can "share" files between the two systems, since one hides the other one) and the boot manager as …
