I have an ancient DOS game I like, Masters of Orion.
I have it running on two WindowsXPHome desktops just fine.
I tried to load it on my new Toshiba laptop (also WindowsXPHome) and it says
it needs 1024k of expanded memory.
I have the properties set for expanded memory. In fact I have the
properties set exactly the same as the desktops. I looked in config.nt and
autoexec.nt and they are the same also.
Any clue as to why I might be having problems? Can I make the computer give
me the expanded memory, or is that not the real problem?
It "runs" on Dosbox, but is too slow to be playable.
I have seen reference to using a dos6.22 boot disk, but the only ones I can
find are mirror images for floppies, and I don't have a floppy. Any way to
get a bootable DOS CDRom? I can put the game on the boot CD, so I don't
need harddrive access. I have a WME computer, so if that is somehow useful
in creating the CD...
Also, when I loaded Norton's it said it couldn't load "goback" because the
computer had a multiboot system, or something like that. I don't know what
it means, but have never seen it on my desktop WXP systems; maybe it is
somehow helpful?
Thanks
