- I've spent an hour today trying to get the Lemmings Demo to run
- inside a Desqview window. It locks up the entire system. Only
- way out is the hardware reset.
-
- I've tried all the command line switches in the Lemmings docs
- and various combinations in the Desqview CP window to no avail.
- Lemmings runs fine in DOS, but I haven't found the proper specs
- for the PIF file.
-
- This is the first piece of software that I have not been able to
- get to run in Desqview in about a years time. Wierd that it is a
- game that has me stuck.
-
- Anyone else got some ideas. I'm stuck (actually my son) as no
- game playing is allowed on Dad's box unless it's inside a DV
- window.
-
- Follow-up to c.s.i.p.h. E-mail appreciated. Thanks...
