    Thanks.
    I actually made this time. But I had to change something. Are you sure
you have "auto" in the EMM386 line in your config.sys. With "auto" the SB
Live drivers wouldn't  load and I didn't have enough memory to play the game
(I also loadade a mouse driver and the CD-Rom, all with lh but it didn't
free any memory though). I tried changing the "auto" line to RAM and then it
worked fine and with enough base memory as well. Don't know what possibly
happened before to not be able to play the game anyway. It's now better then
ever. I can even get General Midi for music which I wasn't able to do with
my old Sound Blaster 32.
    For anyone who is interested here's my config.sys, autoexec.bat and
dosstart.bat .
    And I didn't have to reboot in Windows. All I needed was to start up
with command prompt only (press F8 at startup) and then run dosstart.

DOSSTART.BAT

@ECHO OFF
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
lh C:\SBCD\DRV\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /V /M:8
lh C:\MOUSE\MOUSE

CONFIG:SYS

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM 8192
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\SBCD\DRV\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:170,15 /V

AUTOEXEC.BAT

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330  T6
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM

(I'm using a Creative Labs DVD-Rom. Replace the CD-Rom driver by your
CD-Rom's one)
