    [​IMG] Ah, this really reminds me what I love about old games and systems. I have a decent system that runs Baldurs Gate 2 wonderfully, then I decide to install Dark Sun 2. What do you think happens. It tells me I need more start up memory(610K conventional-only have 579K conventional) to run the game. Anyway, I can make a boot disk that lets me run the game fine. Or I can just use the windows 98 startup disk. My problem is that I need a mouse to play the game, but I have no clue as to how to insert a mouse driver line in the autoexec file on my boot with a system running windows 98. Can annyone help me create a proper start up disk to run the game with my mouse working (note:my mouse works normally the rest of the time)or can annyone tell me how to configure my system running normally(just need to free up the customary 610K) to play the game. As you can tell, I am still quite computer illiterate(after all these years :)), so explain any solution reasonably clearly, and make no asumptions that I know what I'm doing(if I did I wouldn't be here right now, id be creating my party :D)

    Hah, well, I figured it out myself. For anyone that actually wants to know, from the program icon, select properities, program, advanced, and "prevent MS-DOS programs from detect windows."
