Quaterpole:Constant Lockup
Hi there, just recently purchased a new game called Quaterpole which looks like this wonderful horse racing simulation that runs in ms-dos, and I'm having problems with it. It installs all gravy, but when I enter the game and click almost anywhere...it locks up, the mouse moves, but everything else just becomes null and void. I have tried it thru win95, win95dos, msdos 6.22, and same sort of situation. I make sure things are loaded like the little page manual says as well. I'll be trying more things, but honestly, as of now I'm stumped. I really want to play this game *smile*. Hopefully one of you has played this and can give me appropriate help, thanks.
Did you tried to run Memmaker ?
Is it a memory problem?
Do you use any extra memory program?
Have you used Stacker or any other programs to compress your harddisk?

Memmaker really doesn't help with win95 now though, and I don't use any extra memory program, nor stacker or anything evil like that.
What kind of video card do you use?
How many color is your co,puter running on? 24-bit? 16 Color? 256?
Does the game have sound, if so what kind of soundcard do you have?
Have you tried to create a boot disk that only lets you load only necessary file? (ex. autoexec.bat)

I meant in pure DOS. Can you post your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT ?
Have you thought that it may not run in Win95?
