You should create a DOS shortcut to allow your computer to easily and reliably move between Windows 95 (98 in our condition
) and the game. You should first try the Gateway program's shortcut maker. If that fails (which happens all the time
), make a Privateer2:The Darkening DOS shortcut by following the steps below:
1. Right click on desktop.
2. Select New, then left-click Shortcut.
3. Type c:\command.com in the command line box, left-click on Next.
4.Type in PRIVATEER 2 in the shortcut box, left-click on Finish (Yeah, I know you know how to create a shortcut, just wanted to post the thing as it apears
)
5. Right-click on the new Privateer 2 icon.
6. Left-click on Properties.
7. Left click on the Program tab.
8. Make sure the close on exit box is checked.
9. Left-click on Advanced button.
10. Cheak the MS-DOS Mode box. Make sure the Warn before Entering MS-DOS Configuration circle.
11. Click in th Specify a New MS-DOS Configuration circle.
12. In Your CONFIG.SYS box
You will need the four following lines in your CONFIG.SYS box. The lines below should be similar to lines you already have --- some of the directory names may be different.
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
If you have a plug and plat driver line (for example: C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG.SYS) you will need to keep it.
You will also need mouse and CD-ROM driver lines (cut out some useless notes
).
You may also have a sound card driver line or lines.
You may remove all the lines in your file not mentioned above. There are several lines you must remove:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SHARE.EXE
DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\DOSDATA.SYS
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\DOS-UP.SYS c;\QEMM\DOS-UP.DAT
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS R:#
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS R:# SIZE=# C:\QEMM\ST-DBL.SYS
13. In Your AUTOEXEC.BAT Box
There are several lines you must have in your AUTOEXEC.BAT box. The 3 line below should be included, although some of the directory names may be different.
PROMPT $P$G
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
C:
You will also need mouse and CD-ROM driver lines. You may also have sound card driver lines.
There are several lines you should remove...(I think you get it
):
C:\WINDOWS\SHARE.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\POWER.EXE
WIN
C:\CORELCDX.EXE /D: E
NOTE: When you remove this line, you'll have to replace it with the line C:\XXX\MSCDEX.EXE, where \XXX\ is the directory of your MSCDEX file. On Windows 95 computers this line will be \WINDOWS\COMMAND\.
14. Left click OK to accept the changes.
15. Left-click OK to complete the shortcut.
16. You're done (finally!
)!
) and when I hit the "Shortcut to DOS" button, I recieved an error message.
Okay, so I dropped down into DOS through the Start menu on Windows 98, and typed in INSTALL, but got the message that I didn't have enough mem (I assume that means memory).
