I am having problems running Betrayal at Krondor on my computer.  Pentium 
II 300, 64 MB RAM, and STB Velocity 128.  OS is Win 95.  I have tried the 
"make boot disk" option in install.exe but all I get is a stupid error 
message stating "This game requires 1482 K of extended memory and your 
machine does not have enough."  I would also like to free up as much 
conventional and expanded memory as possible as I get a message stating 
"You do not have enough memory to run Betrayal at Krondor.  Try using the 
Make Boot Disk option from INSTALL."--YEAH RIGHT!!!  I ran mem and here 
are the results:
589,392 bytes free of conventional memory
0 free of upper
0 free for reserved
65,826,816 free Extended (XMS)--Why the hell does it say I don't have 
enough extended memory?!
I also have a bunch of modules using up memory below 1 MB:
MSDOS is taking up 33K
vmm32 is taking up 11K
emm386 is taking 10K
These are by far the 3 greatest offenders.  My free expanded (EMS) is 16M 
out of a total 63M.
I will provide my config.sys and autoexec.bat once I get an e-mail.  
Please e-mail me and help a fellow novice gamer out.  I hate DOS games 
and try to avoid them like the plague, but this game is a classic and 
must be played no matter what.
Thank you very much.
