Dos game requires more buffer memory
« on: October 11, 2006, 02:56:31 PM »
Hi all,

I dont know much about computers, just an honest bloke wanting a bit of retro gaming. :)
Tried installing and running XCOM APOCALYPSE. (MS-DOS) During the computer diagnostic the installer states my system has files & buffers at 40/0 when it needs to be 20/20. It suggested me adjusting this in my config.sys file but im running windows XP home so i dont know if there may be a modern altenative?

Anyhow i took a look at my config.sys file by typing in "sysedit" in Run but there wasnt any text there at all, nor in the autoexec.bat file. Is this as it should be and i need to find an alternative fix or has the config.sys file been tampered with by perhaps my brother and i need to rebuild it?

Any info required please ask as i dont know what infos required. Thanks.
