I have tried to post this twice already, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but here goes again. Here are the Windows PIF file settings for a computer with 8MB of RAM, it should work for 4MB too. Only people who have a CYRIX Processor should have to do this......Because of the lock ups when first moving the ship. (Incidentally, if you take your computer out of turbo, it should work) Anyway, no thanks to CYRIX, here are the settings. Program Filename, Window Title, and Start-up directory will vary. Optional Parameters: Blank Video Memory: Low Graphics Memory Requirements: KB Required -1 KB Desired -1 EMS Memory: KB Required 0 KB Desired 0 XMS Memory: KB Required 0 KB Desired -1 Display Usage: Full Screen Execution: Exclusive Close Windows On Exit Advanced settings - Multitasking Options: Background Priority 1 Foreground Priority 100 Detect Idle Time not checked Memory Options: Uses High Memory Area Lock Application Memory Display Options: Low Graphics Emulate Text Mode Other Options: none set Hope that helps.
