Lemmings for windows: HELP MEEEE!!

[Matthew]

Pleeeease help!
I have "Lemmings for windows". It's a combination of the original lemmings levels and the Oh no! More lemmings levels in one disc. When I try to run it on my PC (Windows 98 SE), it will open but as soon as I click on "Play Level" everything goes wrong. I get this:

FATAL ERROR
Lemmings was unable to allocate memory it required. Please shut down other applications and restart lemmings.

I've tried EVERYTHING but always the same message. I have more than 1gig on my PC but it still doesn't work, yet it works on my friend's 98 PC. If I can't fix it then there'll be no lemmings fun for me....

Play real original Dos Lemmings, Oh no more Lemmings and Holiday Lemmings using Dosbox!

In WinLemm, you can't have special levels and Oh no! More Lemmings songs too and the Fast forward mode is VERY VERY fast too!

[Isu]

Firstly, You CAN have Oh No! More lemmings songs in Winlemm. All you do is get the Midi file and rename it to one of the lemmings Midis (LEMMIN1P, LEMMIN2P, etc...) and put it in the music file. When you play Winlemm, the Oh No! music will play instead of the Lemmings song.
Example:
Rename OHNO1.MID to CANCANP.MID
OHNO1. MID will play in place of CANCAN.MID when playing winlemm.

However, There aren't any official Oh No! midis, you'll have to make them yourself or download unofficial ones.

Secondly, Fast forward is only very fast on relatively fast computers, if you use a slow PC, Fast forward isn't as fast

I knew!

Okay then!

So...um...anything about the error message?

Btw, I think this forum is cool  B), so I think I'll join it!  

[DragonsLover]

Why not? A new member would be great! You could even try Cheapo, LemEdit and CustLemm!

About the error message, I don't know. It never appears to anyone. Try downloading another version or download the Dos games.

[Matto]

Thanks for your help anyway, but I'm allowed to borrow a laptop now when I want to play lemmings (Yay!  )

[DragonsLover]

Yay! A new Lemmings member has born! Welcome! Enjoy the forums!

you get the allocated memory thing because windows 98 cannot handle more than 512MB of RAM, to fix that, go to www.microsoft.com go to the knowledge base, and look for windows 98 memory failure or something like that, it was a simply fix like a registry key that you had to edit, cant remember what though...

My lemmings for windows just keeps making fatal exceptions in windows 2000 (Lemmings.exe made a fatal error, an error log will be created)

If you keep the fatal error box open and then open the same program does it work?  Sometimes that works for me.

Wow, first time I heard of this trick to keep a program from crashing.

Somehow I think what probably happened is that you tricked the "fatal error" window from popping up a second time, even though the error is really still there.  But hey, as long as the game works......

If you ever try it let me know how it goes.
