Hi All,

Trying to run Space 1889 using Dosbox .72 but game crashes after answering validation questions, and going through ANY combination of choices after that. That second click after the validation question is naswered causes the error in the subject line and the game falls out leaving only DOSBox prompt and error message.

My Computer is a Gateway FX400S Tower with 2 Pentium D 2.80 Ghz CPU's and 1.0 GB of RAM

Motherboard - Intel, 2 CPU's version 1.04, MPS version 1.04, Model D945GBI, Version AAC99325-205

Video board w/ RAM amount and type - Nvidia GEforce 6600 with 122 MB Total Memory and 306 MB Texture Memory

Sound board - Creative SB Live!

Operating system - Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service PAck 2

Game name (and version, if applicable) - Space 1889

Sound mode used - SB16 and none, neither worked.

Video mode (Software, OpenGL, Direct3D, or Glide, and resolution) - I tried surface and opengl. Neither worked.

Tried core=normal and simple and auto. No diff.

changed memsize to 32 - no diff.

Also tried gus and ems and xms = false. no difference.

Thanks for any clues!

Presley

Hey thanks for the fast response. Pardon my density, but what's a HOTU? And how do I get it or go there?

Thanks!
