Wc2 Music Problem.

[Catscratch_2]

How can i get full music in Wc2.
Everytime i launch the game i get this message.
"No Expanded Memory Detected
Limited Music/Fx will Play"

You`ve got the answer hiding in the question.

(sorry, but I had to)
Do you have EMM386 running in your config.sys? It might give you enough EMS to run the game with full sound

 

[Catscratch_2]

Yes i have ,and it seems that i have 31M of EMS memory and 16M of it is free.
How much i need?

You have quite enough I`d say... let`s see... hmm... well... nah, that won`t work... O.K. I`ll show you what my autoexec.bat and config.sys look like maybe that will help:

Autoexec.bat:
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /L:F
SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND
SET MIDI=SYNTH:2 MAP:G MODE:0
SET BLASTER=A240 I5 D3 H7 P300 T6
mode con codepage prepare=((862) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\hebega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=862

Config.sys:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM HIGHSCAN
DEVICEHIGH = C:\ATAPI\TOSHV218.SYS /D:MSCD000
FILES=50
DOS=UMB
LASTDRIVE=Z
DOS=HIGH
FILESHIGH=50
rem DEVICEHIGH=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /WIN95 /BLASTER=A:240 I:5 D:3 H:7
rem DEVICEHIGH=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS
devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=972,862,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

Suggestion: Don't post your Autoexec as help... It confuses those that don't know about these things. An easier way to do it is to ask for their autoexec.bat, config.sys and dosstart.bat files and then change them.

Thanks for your help Mad Hatter.
I got it working perfectly in W95 with music and speech.
