Hi Dracman,

 

Thanx !!!! It worked.  I created new config.sys and autoexec.bat files (aahh, I can remember the good old days of tweaking until the games worked just fine in DOS),  WinME, then takes the config and autoexec away and add these things to the registry (kinda like a new-age config/autoexec).  What ever happened to the files, I have TR 1 in great colours and picture.

 

Thanks again.  I'm sure I can do something similar to TR 2?

 

Happy Raiding

 

Riaan

Hello Riaan,

 

from the picture you attached,  the error is "out of environment space"  this is controlled by a statement added to your config.sys file located in the c root folder.

 

so add this line to your config.sys file-

 

SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /e:1024 /p

 

===================

config.sys:

 

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 4096 RAM AUTO
buffers=32
files=80
DOS=UMB
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /e:1024 /p
DOS=HIGH
lastdrive=z

 

==================

insure these lines are in-

autoexec.bat:

 

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330  T6
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0

 

** okay since ME doe not have the config.sys and autoexec.bat files, you will have to load these from the desktop icon for Tomb Raider.

 

i got rid of Windows ME and went back to 98sr2.  Let me see where you CAN put these statements so you won't get that environ- error again.  everything should work fine.

hope this helps,
