Did any of the HELP(!?) you recieved worked 4 you. If so, then please
let me know. I got the same problem with Dune2 then you do.

I got a MMX166, 32Megs etc. it's new also.

I had Dune2 before, and it was running on my Notebook, which was just a
486DX25 4MB/RAM WIN95. Yes, I hAd WIN95 running, and I know Why this
worked.

Here's my story:

As you (and I) bought your PC. They just installed WIN95 as the main
operating system. "Chicago" has it's own DOS, so this is the only one
it's using.

If you (like I did on my Notebook) install "Chicago" from an earlier
Version of MS-DOS, WIN95 does not overwrite it, but keeps it as a
secondary operating system.

After installing 95, you are still able to access to your OLD DOS by
interrupting the bootup of Win95 - by pressing the 'F8'-Key while it
says "Booting Windows 95...." (I don't know exactly what it says, I run
the german version, see?!). Then you get into the Boot-Menu. Whether you
are running a network or not, it should be the 7th or 8th entry in this
Bootmenu. <anyway it will be the last entry>. By selecting this you will
get to your old and NORMAL dos shell. And, how refreshing, the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS are present in the Root Directory and they
are the only files who control your old dos version. If you change them,
you change the settings of your old dos, ok!? That's fine isn't it? It
is no problem getting enough conventional ram set up, with everything on
it's right place, i.e. the good old "DOS-Directory."

Though this sounds very cool in the beginning, for us poor two guys, and
I bet many more around the planet - MICROSCHROTT, as we like to call it
in serveral places around good old germany (same as Microtrash) - does
not allow, to reinstall an "older" DOS-Version afterwards (everythings
OLD for Chicago, even the latest DOS, see?).

I'll repeat that for the slower ones, not necessary you, ok?:

###############################################################
You are allowed to install "Chicago" from any DOS version, but,

forget about trying to install a dos version from "Chicago", ok?

There must be another way!


Well there is a way, flat-en your HD, and start all over again. Install
a DOS version and  t h e n  WIN95. But who wants that. I don't. I got my
PC for about 3 Weeks now, and I already got 1,3 GB of Data on my HD's.

I read some of the reply's you got from your request, but somehow they'd
not work for me, so I doubt they'd for you. 

I tried alot, but nothing brought my more then 529K of RAM. Neither the
DOS Window nor the DOS-Mode.

I'll post that to some help usenet groups, maybe someone knows advice, 
WHO HAD AND SOLVED THE *SAME* PROBLEM - "DUNE 2 - Fight for ARAKIS"
Many are just playing the smartass and keep giving advices, they never
tested to work - they keep posting SUGGESTIONS that mostly don't work
but in increasing users frustration.

(am I right or what?!, grin!) ;)


If there's a semi genius out there, who knows how to set up 604Kb of RAM
under WIN95 then please mail me: 

thor...@metronet.de

and to

ing...@lincoln.ac.nz

A mail containing a working pair of autoexec and config would by just
fine.

Thanx in advance, take care...

Bye.
