Not enough memory

[bob_fox]

I have to play Dune 2 in DOS (because I only get sound in DOS cos of my sound card). Tell me, if you can, how you enable your extended memory in DOS. I just feel like giving the old game another go.

[exatreide]

well you take a burlap bag fill it with bannans and cranbary sauce hang it from the tallest tree wait 13 weeks um.....days

pour 2 liters of mountin dew and one leiter of A1 into it. mix the water of life in there let it set for 1 day um..hour

take the casing off your pc pour it in. light your moniter on fire dance around it chanting William Shatner over and over again.

repeat if necisary.

===================

this recipe is copy right of exatreides and any one who wishes to steel it will be hunted down by my goons.

who will get mid evil on your ass. i will be watching from my yacht as the cops fish your bloated carcas

out of the water.

This is not a threat its a warning.

Yes, yes, Mr Ex, that is very, VERY funny (*Sven proceeds to yawn*), but it doesn't help me very much. Can somebody ELSE help me?

[exatreide]

that was not ment to be funny that is what i did it worked. and . can you belive it? and it was my ltttle counsin not me but still. and it was more like grape juice than anything else. i recomend karaseen more than gas .burns slower.

[exatreide]

we burned it becouse it did not work and it was fun we recived a new computer i downloaded dune2 bam it works.

[bob_fox]

My computer IS new, Mr Ex. Now would someone ELSE please give me some suggestions so I can stop reading Mr Ex's stupid remarks. Yes, Mr Ex, I would like to blow up my computer. Unfortunately, I would NOT, repeat NOT, be able to replace it. Anyway, my idea of wrecking a computer is different from yours. Take a computer, yours if you do not want to get into trouble, take it to the 20th floor of some building (I hear you Americans have lots of tall buildings (if you aren't American I apologise for counting you among them)), and throw it off. But, as I have stated earlier, I do NOT wish to destroy my computer. WOULD SOMEBODY TELL ME SOMETHING USEFUL PLEASE?!

[exatreide]

well not just american canadans have them the brits a few so do most of the of the countrys in europe even luckensburg has a few. japan has the longest suspention bridg in all the world. construction started in 1992 i belive finsishing in augast in 1998 with a cost of 100 billion dollers. now yes america has lots of tall buildings. the tallest if you dont count the twin towers in malasia. since they cheated. since the ornimental tower should not count. and since most of the twin towers were made of concrete. and a well paced aim ram missil could take down both off them. and before you reply . yes a lot of americas buildings could take a am ram missil. back in 1939 a DC 9 crashed into the empire state building. they re opened it the next day. now the longest wall man has created is located in china reaching over 2900 feet of land. first created in 100 AD to keep out mongral invaders.it is the only human wall visible in space.

in case you were wondering.

[bob_fox]

Yes again, Mr Ex. Clever, Mr Ex, very clever. Let's talk MEMORY. I need help with MEMORY. Please, someone help me with MEMORY. I don't have enough MEMORY (and no, Mr Ex, I do not have amnesia). I could bore you with South African history, but I would rather be kind and ask you about MEMORY. Yes, Mr Ex, MEMORY. I WANT TO USE MY 160 MEGS OF EXTENDED MEMORY IN DOS.

[exatreide]

err.....you fill um......um......check to see if your dos is not messed up. play another game with dos ect...........fire the torpedos......er.....um...... for the alemo........um........

so you want south african history i will gave you all i know..... errrrrrrrrrr.....there done.

[bob_fox]

[quoudam72]

[exatreide]

[exatreide]

[ordos45]

Yes Ex we know, and I had you admitted for psychotherapy.

[exatreide]

[bob_fox]

No, but I haven't tried lately. Nobody told me how to get my extended memory to work, so, after many days, my addiction to the game passed. Thanks for wasting my time so I didn't care anymore, Ex.

[exatreide]

no prob. :)

[Gobalopper]

Sven have you tried a search on, getting DOS games to run in windows, or something similar. I don't know any specific sites for you but I am pretty sure there are details at a few sites on how to get it to run. The game runs for me without problem so I have never looked into the problem...

[exatreide]

gob he said he did not care any more. thats what i'm here for to slowly drive peopele insane untill they just completely forget there desire to play the game.

[Terror]

hope some1 still reads this :-)... but you can't... newer pc's don't have enough extended memory anymore... unless you convert some perhaps... but hell...... where you need that for any way... just pick the option don't use extended memory in the setup and the game will play just like it did on your old pc... it does on my pc at least...

[gryphon]

I had the same problem 2 years ago. Always used a illegal copy of Dune 2, than I got the origional CD of the game, installed it and guess what, yep, it didn't work. Not enough memory. Never bothered to look at it myself.

[XTF]

config.sys:

device=c:doshimem.sys

[gryphon]

Doesn't work :)

[ Nice try though. ]

[XTF]

Why doesn't that work?
