Running Privateer 1 on Windows ME

Ok. I add the J200 and a mouse driver. But still the problem is that when I run the program the computer hangs with the cursor flashing beneath the C:\PRIVATER\priv that I entered to run the game.
 
Did you type install while in the c:\privater and configure the sound settings?

If you did a manual install I believe you also need to remove the read only attribute on all files within the c:\privater.

I DID IT !!! Privateer 1 runs in WinMe

It is possible to patch WinMe to insert a Dos Mode.
Try visiting http://www.angelfire.com/yt/privater/windows.html
There is a little link at the beginning for WinMe Users where you can download a patch for WinMe to support a Dos-Mode. It took me a little bit long but now i can start my Computer with a startmenu where i can select WinMe OR Dos.

But i still have a problem.
Everytime i try to use emm386.exe in config.sys my system crashes. So its not possible to use EMS memory. And therefore i cant initialize my Dos-Driver for the SoundBlaster Live.
Ok i can play Privateer, but without music, sound or joystick. I already tried to get QEMM somewhere on the net to use this for EMS, but i couldn´t find anything. Could anyone send me this?

Please HELP!!!!
