Expanded memory without 64k of upper memory

[Chuck]

My new laptop does not have any upper memory usable for
the page window into expanded memory so the EMM command
does not work. I want to play an old DOS based game but
it needs expanded memory. Is there an EMM that only
works with the 16k page windows of LIM 4.0 without the
64k page window of LIM 3.2? Is there an EMM that can use
CONVENTIONAL memory for its 64k page window?

Hi Chuck,

Since it's just one DOS game that's causing you this issue try this...
When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
^^^ That's the solution I would use Chuck. It's fast and efficient.

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm For sound
issues use: http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound Good Luck!
