3. Running under DOS

DOS users are still encouraged to disable EMM386 when running Heroes.

To do so:

   1. Type EMM386 OFF at your command prompt

      If EMM386 reports InActive then Heroes should run properly.

      Note: You will need to type EMM386 OFF everytime you reboot 
            your computer.

   or 2. Try REMing out EMM386 in your CONFIG.SYS:

      type the following at your command prompt and hit ENTER.

         EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS   

            (This will edit your system configuration)

         find the line 

            DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 

         or the like and add to the front of the line REM ... i.e.

            REM DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE

         go to the File Menu and Select Exit and answer YES to save 
         the changes.

         If you need to re-install EMM386 for any reason you can remove
         the REM at the front of the line.

      You will need to re-boot your computer for this change to take effect.

4. Running under Windows 95

While Heroes of Might and Magic should run fine on most Windows 95
setups, if you have problems, try running Windows 95 in MS-DOS mode.

To do so, in Windows 95, click on 

Start - ShutDown - Restart the Computer in MS-DOS mode.
