Has anyone experienced any trouble running sierra games in windows?
I ran lsl6 in windows and it ran fine but pq4 and Gabriel Knight
didn't run very well. The screen often split into about 8 rectangles with
a patern of color inside and then the screen went black and I got kicked
out of windows all together. I have a hunch that lsl6 worked because it
only needed 2 meg to run in windows but pq4 and gk needed 4 meg. I have no
smartdrives, fastopen, ansi, or mouse tsr's. The only thing I have loaded
is the himem.sys. I desperatluy want to run the ganmes in windows
because they music is so much better and the games run in svga. If anyone
has had the trouble pleas e-mail me and notify me if there is a soulution.
