Alright, if I try to run the installer in Dosbox it says there's not enough space on the harddrive. If I run the installer without dosbox it seems to work. When I try to run the game in dosbox it says "DOS/4GW Protected mode run-time version 1.97 copyright (c) rational systems, inc. 1990-1994" in the dosbox window and nothing happens. If I run it without dosbox using compatability mode for windows 95 it runs but with the memory manager problem that makes it run super slow.

OS:Windows XP
DOSbox:.65
I've tried loadfix but I'm not exactly sure how it works and it doesn't seem to help.

try "Mount c c:\games -freesize 999"

Obviously for "C:\games" you should use your own path.

DosBox by default only shows 110m of free space for older games. The above command shows a higher value for games that want more space. It's also in the DosBox README.

Just tried it for the game with the same result. do I need to do it for the install? I'm installing from the CD if that matters.
