I use INT of 7.  I have this CD and the SBPROII card w/ 486/40MHz.
I couldn't play this w/o a boot disk and I have 12MB of memory with 800MB 
of HD space and 612K of conventional memory.  The problem is this it 
didn't like my HIMEM and EMM386 setup that I use for everything else.  
The easy thing to do is set up a boot disk or, if using DOS 6.2 or 
higher, an alternate config.sys and switch between them.  Generally, it 
is a config.sys memory management problem.  Try either suggestion to see 
if it corrects your problem.  It did correct it on my setup.
