BleepingComputer.com: Old Games

I have an older DOS based game that I am trying to run, it works under windows 98SE but I can't get it to run under XP, as I try to install it the program tells me that I have to free up more memory but the amount is 0 that it tells me to free up. Is this a conflict between the old game and the DOS emulator in XP or what? I thoroughly enjoy the game but it gets to be a pain to run it on my older laptop all the time rather than on my desktop. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can try Dos Box I have never used it but I have heard it works most of the time http://www.dosbox.com/information.php?page=0

dos program can not run in the system after windows2000,I think you can try some software that can simulate dos environment in xp.
or you can install two system in your PC.

Wish my poor english and technology can give you help.
