To isolate your problem, try running it in DOS mode (you'll need CWSDPMI for
this).

Programs built with DJGPP only need about 64 KB or so
of conventional memory (C.O.M.D readers please help me
on this figure) because they use mostly extended memory.

If you are running a lot of programs at once in Windows 98,
or your computer have less than 32 MB of physical RAM,
there may not be enough to fit even the smallest DJGPP
program into memory.

The DOS version of Quake 1 is a DJGPP program; does it
run? The popular puzzle game DOSArena (available from
my home page) is a DJGPP program; does it run?

HTH (hope this helps)
