Any reason why you wouldn't just run it in a 32-bit Windows environment? Why DOSBox for that one?

Yeah I'm building a virtual DOS machine that boots straight into DOSBox so I'm trying to get as much as I can to work in one instance of DOSBox without having to switch settings externally. I have tons of old DOS and Windows games and I've been going through them, trying to get each to work.

If all else fails, GOG has the game for about 5 euros.

I use a memory allocation program and it works like a charm. It appears as long as you limit the amount of available ram the game will run fine.

Link, please.

I ran it in a Windows 7 VM with 512Mb RAM, after installing WinG, and it's fine, too.

I'm at work right now so I can't check on the exact program i use but this might be it :

Just remember you're allocating how much ram to use up, so leave yourself around 8MB or so...If this program doesnt work for you I will check what im actually using when I get off of work.

It appears that, as described above, you need to run MemAlloc to use up all but 8 MB of RAM, and then run the installer.

well i got it re-installed but i'm having trouble with the teleportal pads... i can't use any of them out side the one place. i have tried re-installing the game again to see if that would help but it doesn't. i seen something in a post about a patch? maybe that might help. i have the game almost beat i think. i only have to get into the palace.
