:help: QFG1VGA all of a sudden quit working on me! Whenever I start up the game, it gives me this funky error message saying, "You need [x] more bytes of free memory available to run this game. If you have any resident software loaded, please remove it and try again. Script #: 0, IP: 0". Please help!!

Is there some rule that you can't help an unregistered guest?

No, there is no such "rules"... Most likely, those who can help you didn't even log in and see your message in the first place. Waiting only a few hours is far from being a long wait.

What is your computer spec, do you use XP and if yes, did you try DOSBox?

Sorry, I didn't notice there's a time zone difference. Anyways, I'm using Win98 on an AMD K6 processor- I'm not sure how many MHz that is, all I know is that it has 512 megs of RAM. I tried using dosbox, but it runs retardedly slowly no matter how much faster or slower I make it.

If this helps you any, here's a picture.

Have you tired using VDMsound (avilable on Abandonia)?

It won't work with Win98.

Can't anyone help me?

Oks...

qfg1vga should work fine through windows 98 - it was released around that era of windows OS.

You mentioned that the game suddenly stopped working for you - I take that to mean at one point it was working fine... Am also going to assume you have an up to date virus scanner running on your system - if not get one quick

Some things to try:

Reinstall the game over your existing installation - this will rule out any file corruption.

If that doesn't cure it, then try uninstalling anything that has added new TSR's to your windows installation - i.e. anything you've installed that has added an icon to your systray, anything that has added to your autoexec.bat and config.sys files, anything that has added something to your "startup" folder.

Could it be that it means Extended memory (or unextended or whatever)? - that was a common problem with DOS programs in Win 98, you might need to adjust settings in config.sys.
