Hi Brian,

I run Darklands on XP, I had trouble with getting it to run until a
friend showed me how to make a shortcut and run it in Windows 95
compatibility mode with extended HMA (memory). Now it works like a
charm and all I have to do is double click on my shortcut.

Try this:

1. Double click on the CD
2. Create a shortcut on your desktop to the game
3. Right click once on the short cut
4. Choose properties
5. Select the Memory Tab - make sure all options are set to auto and
Extended Memory (XMS) HMA is checked
6. Select the Compatibility Tab
Compatibility Mode
Check Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 95
7. Hit ok

Darklands should now load when you double click on the shortcut.
