Privateer XP

hi,
Did anyone get WC: Privateer running under windows XP? I tried it but I'm getting this error:

Protected mode driver is not responding to EMS function calls.
Make sure your EMS driver is not configured with the NOEMS option.
If it is, replace the option "NOEMS" with "RAM".

help please :

Privateer will only work in dos, and you need emm386 to simulate EMS ram for it to work.

I have heard of folk getting it to run in 95/98 but it'll be a cold day in hell before in runs in XP.

Sorry to bring back an EXTREMELY old thread, but I was having fun reading through some of the ancients.

Mustang:

I have heard of folk getting it to run in 95/98 but it'll be a cold day in hell before in runs in XP.


This was funny considering it had a great quote by Mustang about Privateer working on XP and it being timely, now that Eraser has provided us with a link to two programs that'll let us do it, it is now a cold day in hell. And I must live in hell because it's frigid here!

Has anyone tried Eraser's linked programs with Privateer yet? I'd very much like to know if it can handle the JEMM that Privateer uses. (I'm making this current again! -- wink, wink )

EDIT: I found another one by Mustang in another Privateer thread.

You won't get it to work in XP, no matter how hard you try. DOS/95/98/Me are the only OS's in which it'll run.

BTW, you moderators had started so many threads a long time ago, are you just not as interested in starting them anymore? Or are we responders just not as interesting?

Hrm I just called hell and spoke with bielzebub, he tells me that he's taking a new tact this year, after so much bad press about how hot it is in hell he has decided it's going to be frosty damnation for the next milennia. So it turns out I was right.

I never knew you had such an affinity with the devil. If you were to move to hell, will the devil give you a good deal for a condo at his ski resort on Dante's Peak?
