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. Chemical Dragon -==(UDIC)==-
