I seem to be on a bit of roll with old games lately. I go out and upgrade my system so its almost top of the line and state of the art and I find, much to my dismay, that all I want to play, or all I can afford now that I've spent all my money on hardware, is old games that don't work on my new hardware.
Anyway, I tried to run the demo of Rise and Decline of the Third Reich by Avalon Hill and it won't load. It tells me that I don't have an extended memory manager loaded. I am using VDMSound (I was looking to post this on the new VDMS board but I couldn't find it - maybe it isn't up and running yet?).
I have all the appropriate memory settings enabled. There is a heck of alot more extended memory available than the game needs but for some reason it won't load because it doesn't detect a memory manager. Any ideas?
Setting up a dual boot right now isn't an option, so unless I can get the game working in Win XP without having to spend any money, I won't be able to play it.
Thanks again, (sick of me yet? 😀 )
