Problem:
I am unable play some of the DOS base games on my computer.  The game loads
but on the first stoke of key booard the screen will become black. To
restart I have to use three key salute (Ctrl+Alt+Del). My autoexec.bat
config.sys files have only mouse driver installed. I can not see any other
thing in these files.

The first remedy I guess is need of more Conventional memory? I need help
from some one on the list who could suggest how to get more conventional
Memory. Also, is there some thing else which need to be done to get the game
running.

My system
Win 95.000.1111.; 32 mb RAM; 16 BIT OPTI FULL DUPLEX SOUND CARD; 8 MB VRAM
