Trouble Running Kyrandia 3
Whenever I try to run the game, it tells me I have insufficient EMS or XMS memory available. I have PLENTY of memory available, so I can't figure out what to do about this problem. Any ideas?

The problem is that Windows doesn't manage its memory space same way DOS did.
Most DOS games require Expanded/Extended Memory (EMS/XMS). Best way to get around this problem is by runing the games through DOSBox, like Eagle of Fire said.

or if you are too lazy to use dosbox you can try righclicking the excutable you are trying to run, properties, go to "memory" tab and select maximum amount of the required memory
though you probably won't get the sound and stuff, which added to gameplay a lot in legends of kyrandia so using dosbox is still better
