Well, if someone has an idea of what to do with this (It appears even in 98 and true MS-Dos mode), please tell me.

Oh, right. Some explanation of what it is might help. I get this when I try to run the Daggerfall install.exe, so I can turn off the nudity. Um...If that's not enough info, just tell me what I need to add.

How big is the program? Can you boot into DOS with a boot disk and then run it. IIRC this program works by extending memory. So If Windows has already loaded, it may not release the needed memory addresses when switching back to DOS_ala_98, which is not exactly a pure DOS environment.
