Hi.

I get this error in Alien Breed: Tower Assault [image attached]. How can I solve this? Other games work fine in DosBox.

Sorry for necroing, but it can help to change reported version to 6.00 ("ver 6.00" command in DOSbox itself), AND disable sound in install.exe ... I just discovered Alien Breed. Running Windows 7 myself.

No apology needed. Thanks for the tip. ;-)

Could you elaborate on "...but it can help to change reported version to 6.00 ("ver 6.00" command in DOSbox itself)..."

Only way I can re-produce the error is to set xms to false in dosbox configuration. Check that xms=true in dosbox.conf (or run mem command in dosbox command prompt).

Also, the game seems to crash dosbox-0.74 but it runs without problems in older releases. Use dosbox-0.73 to play this game.
