Ok I was able to figure out how to run Master of Magic without any special programs on Windows XP. Last time I did this, I could have swore I had to make changes to the registry, but this time I did not need to.
1. You right click on the "MAGIC.exe" file. Click properties.
2. Choose the "Compatibility" tab and choose to run the program in "Windows 95 mode". NOTE: This step may not be necessary.
3. Choose the "Memory" tab. Set conventional memory to auto/auto. Expanded (EMS) memory needs to be 3072. The other fields can be set to auto.
Save your changes. Run MAGIC.exe
One additional note... If sound is enabled, you may need to go into the Install.exe and disable the sound settings. To do this, you will need to actually pull up a C:\ prompt, navigate to the directory magic is stored in, and run the Install in the DOS environment. Then save your settings.
Hope this helps anyone who is having issues running Master of Magic with DosBox or VDMsound.
