While you may have the 4Mb needed to run the game is it actually free? Some programs like SMARTDRV.EXE can take 2Mb or more. Remove it from your CONFIG.SYS and reboot. MS-DOS 6.0 contains MEMMAKER which can help you configure your system better. HEY, IT CRASHED! Boot with a minimum configuration to free up as much memory as possible. Your config file should look something like this: FILES=20 BUFFERS=20 DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH THE SOUND DOESN'T WORK! If you have a SoundBlaster compatible card, select the SoundBlaster clone driver and try again. Otherwise you can run H.U.R.L without sound by starting it as follows: hurl -s -----------------------------------------------------------------------
