Can't seem to make it work

:confused: Hi all,
I've been trying to run TN on my machine with no success. <IMG SRC="shake.gif" border="0"> I've gotta a nifty dos boot disck with which I can run a plethora of games, including System Shock and the complicated Privateer. It's got it all, mouse, sound card, cdrom, plenty of base memory (around 600k) and EMS/XMS.
It gives me a memory error, and a code I don't have now, but will post later...

Any suggestions?

Might be the VESA driver. I think I always need to use the command that forces it to work right. I don't recall the whole deal right now, but search the forum for help.

:D
GReat!
Searching the forums really worked... It's working now. I needed the Voodoo TSR. Well, now onto the game.
Thanx for your help!

<IMG SRC="thumb.gif" border="0"> Hooray... I've played with it a bit, (up to mission 4, training included)and it's really as good as it seemed. Now I'll finish System Shock (I'm about to blow the antennae) and then I'll slaughter ugly pirates. DOS Gaming in it's Prime! If I could only make my Sidewinder Precision 2 work on DOS, I'd play Privateer... <IMG SRC="angel.gif" border="0">

And Shock as well? Ah, that's the sort of thing I like to hear :) (And if you've not already done so, we'll have to get you playing Underworld after this! :)
