Rerun setsnd
Choices to make:

soundcard: 4
music: yes
I/O 220
IRQ 7
DMA 5

Runs fine in dosbox 0.72.

Should you still have problems please post:
Your OS (W98/W2K/XP/Vista/ ....?)
Dosbox version.
How you installed the game.
ALL you mount lines and how you run the game.

first: sorry about my poor english! I'm speak portuguese only

I have the same problem.. I downloaded the game from http: //w ww.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/79 and run the INSTALL.BAT

Code: Select all

 C:\documents and settings\leandro\desktop\aladdin>install.bat aladdin\

after this, I've made the following

Code: Select all

C:\aladdin>setsnd

and put the option (1), but when I tried to run the game:

Code: Select all

C:\aladdin>aladdin

I get the same "XMS allocation error"

Rerun setsnd
Choices to make:

soundcard: 4
music: yes
I/O 220
IRQ 7

DOSBOX, run it in dosbox 0.72.
All XP can run dosbox without problems.
Read and apply this:
http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5443
Download dosbox 0.72 from:
http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1
Choose:
Windows - 0.72 - Win32 installer

C:\documents and settings\leandro\desktop\aladdin>install.bat

Nope.
C:\games\aladdin\
and mount C:\games as C: in dosbox, as described in the first link.

I tried to download DOSBox before, but the server couldn't be found...
