Armada isssus with WinXP

Viper61

Spaceman
I have a slew of problems with XP so I'm gonna place each one in a different post to avoid confusion. I have a P4 running WinXP, with a Geforce 3 graphics card and a SBLive! sound card.

I have the Armada CD and I've installed it. I've changed the compatibility of the program to everything imaginable and I've changed the EMS memory to automatic and a few other settings. I've put my SBLive card to no acceleration and attempted to run it but I keep getting the same error. When I click on the executable, it brings up the DOS screen and says "EMS driver is not UCPI compliant". Any Thoughts anyone? Thanks

Armada cannot be run in any flavour of Windows, period.
You have to boot to DOS (can be done via a shortcut in Win9x, no idea about XP).

XP needs a bootdisk, and you'll have somewhat interesting difficulties if you're using a filesystem other than FAT16 or FAT32 because DOS won't be able to see the hard drive.
