I used to play this game on my old desktop and i
recently "found" it again, and trying to install it on my
xp system, it seems to work fine, i get through install
then i get either an out of memory error, or a not enough
memory to load Gob or file not found. i also tried doing
the auto play feature, but i just get a hudge list of
auto run
auto run
auto run

then i can click cancel or abort...

i did the compatablility wizard but same results, i
turned off messanger and my anti-virus scanner, but still
wont work, it is hopeless? or can i get around it?
 
Hi Zack,

I believe Conqueror AD 1086 was written for a DOS platform.

When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available.

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and: http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm :-)
