Hi all.
I am trying to run the old game "Master of Orion" under XP Pro. It works
under Xp home on another computer, but on my desktop comp w/ XP pro I only
get a black screen. When trying from DOS prompt i get the error message "You
need an EMS driver".
I have set the program to get automatic conventional memory, 2048k EMS,
2048k XMS and 8192k DPMI, to run maximized with the rest automatic. This
works with XP home on my other computer.
But why not with Pro??? The monitor and everything else is standard P&P. I
have tried varying the settings, more memory, compatibility mode etc, but no
luck.
Help.........?
