Can someone please explain in terms that even an idiot like me can understand, how to solve the following problem.

How do I make EMS memory available? I am currently attempting to run Eye of the Beholder III, and prior to the program actually starting I get a message stating "At least 983040 EMS Memory required for digitized sound support. Digitized sound will not be available."

Since I have over 250 MB of installed memory, and I previously ran this program on a 486 under Windows 95 with only 16 MB of RAM, I don't understand the problem.

If I go to properties for the program shortcut, I only have the option of making a max of 16384 EMS available, nowhere near enough.

I've tried AbandonLoader and VDMS sound, both with no success. Also do joy with DOS Box.

Any suggestions?

Thank you:

Tom Ponta
