- PLEASE NOTE:
-
- The Virus Tutorial is DOS-based, and requires at least 520K RAM and
- a VGA graphics card.
-
- If you have problems running the tutorial we recommend you completely
- leave Windows and return to the DOS prompt (running inside a DOS box
- will probably not work). If you still do not have enough memory, try
- removing any unnecessary drivers in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
- (be sure to make a backup of these files before you do this, and make
- sure you know what you're doing!). It can also be a good idea not to
- be logged onto a network, as network drivers take up a lot of memory.
