Have you ever gotten a message during the install, saying "Windows 98 requires a computer with at least 16MB of memory"? I even raised the memory in the .conf file to 128MB, and I am still getting the message...

Any thoughts?

A) Windows 9x is not supported
B) lock stock Dosbox doesn't support 128 MB of memory. If you set it to that it reverts back to the default (16MB?).
