"....linear buffer" ??
To save time in solving your problem, it will be helpful to know more about your computer.
Please list the components of your system that might apply.
(Motherboard, CPU, RAM, Hard Drive(s), CD-ROM, Soundcard, etc.)
Please post your autoexec.bat & config.sys files also.
Regards,

Edited text of question
Could you give more details about the error message? What is the exact message?
In the setup of the game (if possible), turn off/detune anything to do graphics and rendering.  I have seen this message when the game setup has a spot to define the type of graphics or 3D graphics card.
OR
Turn down the COLOR DEPTH of your video card.
OR
Use the latest drivers for your Video card AND 3D card (Voodoo II).
OR
Look for a game patch by the publisher.
what os are you running (version please)?
if win95 have you tried installing directx 5?

it says emm386 not installed xms not present
where do i get that from i dont have any dos disk
and how do i get to regular dos all i have is win95 ms dos
you can edit the settings of any exe
right click on its icon, properties, program tab, advanced..., ms-dos mode, specify a new msdos mode.
just edit those config.sys and autoexec.bat files the way you want em and the emm386 that is in the windows folder will do it
