- IF THE GAME WILL NOT LOAD.. .
Your computer must have at least
600K of FREE RAM.
BASE MEMORY PROBLEMS:
After your system loads MS-DOS, your
mouse, sound drivers, and any menu programs,
you must have 600K remaining out of the origi-
nal 640K of BASE MEMORY. This area of
memory has nothing to do with your HARD
DRIVE or the remainder of your RAM, should
you have more than
64OK of BASE MEMORY.
It is possible that your computer’s operating
system is not setup to allocate 600K of free
BASE MEMORY. This event is usually the rea-
son the program will not load. You can deter-
mine how much memory is available by typing
MEM. This will tell you how much free RAM
exists. If the amount is less than 600,000 bytes,
then you will have to free up more BASE
MEMORY.
OPTION 1: FOR MS DOS 6.0, 6.1 or 6.2 users
1) Type “CD C:\DOS” [RETURN]. (This will
move you to the directory where your DOS
files are stored.)
2) Type “MEMMAKBR”.
Follow the options for DEFAULT installa-
tion. This will move your MS DOS and other
files to HIGH MEMORY and out of your BASE
MEMORY.
OPTION 2: FOR MS DOS 5 users
The simplest way to free up more BASE
MEMORY is to create a BOOT DISK. The fol-
lowing instructions will create a basic boot disk
that you can use to run the game.
1) Place a blank floppy disk in the A DISK
2) Type “C:” [RETURN]
3) Type “CD C:\DOS” [RETURN].
4) Type “FORMAT A: /S” (this will format a
blank floppy disk and transfer the MS DOS
operating system).
5) When asked for a volume label, hit the
RETURN KEY.
6) Type “CD C:\KING” [RETURN].
7)
Type “MAKEBOOT” [RETURN].
This will make a basic BOOT DISK, but it
will not include your MOUSE DRIVERS or
your SOUND CARD DRIVERS.
To install your MOUSE DRIVERS:
Make sure that the BOOT DISK that you
created is in the A DRIVE.
1) Type “CD C:\MOUSE” [RETURNI.
Note: Not all mice manufacturers setup their
software in the following manner. These direc-
tions
are for a Microsoft Mouse or an OEM
Microsoft Mouse that has installed all of the
mouse software in
a directory called MOUSE. If
these instructions do not work, consult your
mouse installation instructions that accompanied
your mouse.
2) Type “INSTALL” [RETURN] (if INSTALL
does not work, try “SETUP”).
3) Follow the instructions on the screen until it
asks you “Where do you want to install the
mouse drivers?” When prompted, tell it to
install the mouse drivers to you A FLOPPY.
After this is completed, your mouse drivers
will be installed on the BOOT DISK.
If you do not wish to install your sound card
drivers, or you do not have a sound card, skip
the next set of installation instructions and
proceed
