Deleting or simply renaming the files is sufficient. If you are still
unable to play the game then I would recommend a new (different) video
card. I have successfully used the STB Lightspeed which give better
performance for DOS games anyway, unless you have a game specifically
written for use with a particular video card. Univbe does seem to
only recognize 2MB on every 4MB video card I have attempted to use it
with. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions you have.
Particularly more specific ones, more info like where do you lock up
or what specifically happens that keeps you from playing. I will
certainly help if I can. Good Luck.
John
