- Subject: LOTUS 2.3 and Wolf3d through DOS 5 image file?
- Lines: 16
-
- I created a DOS 5 image file and it seems to work really well. It accesses
- all of my true DOS 5 files(I put DOS 5.0 in a subdirectory on my machine,
- no dual boot) and I don't see any problems. Heck, it even ran Dosshell. But
- trying to run LOTUS 3.1(I screwed up the subject title) I get a bomb upon
- leaving. I have Lotus installed on D, a FAT partition, and when exiting it
- says failure to access drive D. I can't figure out why. It runs fine when I
- run it from the disk that I created the image from, but it crashes when I do
- the image thing. Same with Wolf3d except it crashes while loading in the
- GET PSYCHED phase. Just before it fully loads the scene I chose, it freezes
- and locks up the whole machine. I have to turn it off and turn it back on to
- be able to do anything. Anyone able to suggest something. If a copy of the
- autoexec.bat or config.sys or anything else would help, I can easily provide
- them.

- Thanks
