lotus S4 ultimate challenge

When i try to load this program (approx 1.44MB file size) my PC comes up with the funny one liner ,not enough memory to run lotus, i have a 386sx16 with 4MB RAM ,can anyone give me any suggestions as to why it would not work? If this is the wrong place to discuss this , can anyone point me in the right direction? Also ,if i have this problem ,will Microproses , F1 grand prix work?

If this simulator is a pure DOS Application, then extended memory is useless. Some driving simulators do need more than 600 KByte of conventional memory. Remove all your TSR programs , move your DOS to HighMemory and try again. When you need a config.sys example file, mail me cheers !

Just a guess, but the program probably wants to load in the first 640K. Remove all memory resident programs and optimize your config.sys so that as much as possible gets loaded into highmem. The program probably requires close to 600K to run so you need to be very good about setting up your config.sys.

I guess it's time we created alt.microsoft.dos.newbie.die-die-die!! The answer is YES! DOS is a dog. I'm running a 486/33 w/16 megs, and I STILL have to QEMM the heck out of my TSR's to come close to running anything in terms of games that are good. On a more relevant note - F1GP is my personal favorite. Just for kicks, I enjoy NOT qualifying and still coming in top 3 in the points race. In fact, I just managed to actually WIN a season this way!! Kevin
