| Hi,
|
| my sons older windows 95 games just wont work on our new XP Home Computor.
| Every time I try to start the game a popup window displays "Director Player
| 6.0 - This program requires at least 3 MB of free virtual memory to run".
| I've tried the diffrent compability modes for both W 95, 98, NT and 2000 -
| still the same result. I've looked at some threads here and I've tried the
| Dosbox from sourceforge, but then it says that the program needs to run in
| windows. Please help me start these games (at the moment I've got 3 games
| with the same problem, all 3 are "older" games). They used to work fine in
| our Win 98 SE computor. It has to be some kind of compability problem, but I
| just can't solve it.
|
| If you need it here are some specs:
|
| Intel P4 3.0 Ghz
| 1024 MB Ram
| 160 Gb Harddrive
| Radeon X300
| Direct X 9.0c
|
| If you need more info of my system please tell me what you need, although
| the system can't be the problem!
|
| Regards Magnus
