Hi, I'm a Dos noob. I have recently been trying to run the original descent game, off the cd-rom I have for mac OS9. I found the original dos shareware application off the application, which ran fine. (Well, without sound, but at least it ran.) Then I replaced the installed .pig and .hog data files from the shareware with the files from the full game. Now, whenever I try to start the game, it only displays the top left corner of the descent game screen in the dosbox window. It runs for about ten seconds (Not enough time to actually get to the main menu screen) and then quits descent, saying that there is not enough memory. I ran loadfix, but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Well install the full version rather than copying files around.
Also be sure you configure the sound correctly (check the dosbox config
file) and do NOT use GUS for sound or music but sb/sb16.
