We have found that many of the common problems our

customers experience with their machines have simple

answers. If you are experiencing one of the problems listed

1. WHY DOES IT SAY “NOT ENOUGH MEMORY

FOR WORK AREA” WHEN I TYPE THE GAME

COMMAND?

This game is a protected mode program which may be

incompatible with some of the other programs that load

into your machine when it boots up, including memory

managers.

There are three ways to deal with this:

A) Press down and hold the <F5> key as soon as you see the

words “Starting MS-DOS” when starting or restarting your

machine. This will bypass your configuration files, so that you

won’t be loading in the things that you don’t need. If you use

this approach, you will need to manually load your mouse

driver and, if necessary, your VESA driver (see below);

manual loading is usually a simple matter of finding the

device driver(s) and typing their name(s).

B) Make a game/boot disk according to the

instructions in the “How do I make a game/boot disk”

section below.

C) If you are comfortable with editing your

configuration files, edit your config.sys file to create

a boot configuration that disables references to all

memory managers, such as HIMEM.SYS,

EMM386.EXE, QEMM, 386Max, etc. as well as
