Great! I have a DOS game which I like very much, I'd like to play it under my
win98 (FAT32) computer. However I can never get it to work, either DOS windows
and DOS prompt doesn't run the game. I've played with DOS since 9 years ago (I
still have a 386 to play DOS games), I already tried everything (memory setting,
FCB, ...) to make that game works on my win98 machine, but I never did it. The
game works fine on my 386 at almost any memory config (I have a boot menu with 9
level, plus 3 sub-level menu) as long as I give 2M extended/expanded memory to
that game. But it never worked on win98 machine no matter what I do within
config.sys and autoexec.bat.

Can you think something to save the game? (My 386 won't last long)

Thanks
