- This should be a FAQ. None of the older SSI AD&D games work properly
- with DOS 5.0. (And yes, they are total assholes for repackaging and
- selling the games with no advice to that effect.)

- If you can boot with an older version of DOS, then that should solve the
- problem completely. If you have to use 5.0, then I think perhaps not
- loading it in high memory helps? (Not sure on this one.)
