Question Solved: Using Expanded Memory
I need 2 use Expanded Memory 2 run some software. A "Read Me" file says that I need 2 load the "EMS" and "XMS" drivers b4 running the software. How can this be done - I suspect that it involves autoexac.bat and Config.sys files.

Have you tried compatibility mode?
You may find some help here, but I'm not sure it's possible to this with a modern computer:

Is that a pure DOS based game? If so, maybe a DOS emulator such as DOSBox may solve your issues: http://www.dosbox.com/ This is a great dos emulator that you can use to emulate old dos games. Ive used it to play doom and duke nukem in windows vista and it runs without a hitch.
