Pete,
	I have had this same problem with graphics intensive games 
before.   So here's what you do.
	First, don't run the program from MS Windows, or menu programs.
All or part of these programs stay in memory when they run the 
application, taking memory away from the application.
	Second, many programs can only use the first 640K of memory, 
so what you need to do is reclaim as much of this area of memory as 
possible.  
	Your best bet is QEMM (Quarterdeck Expanded/extended Memory 
Manager).  This program takes mouse drivers, TSR's (memory resident 
programs such as Sidekick (tm)), and other things which take up some of
your lower 640K and moves them into the memory above the 640K limit.  
This might give you enough memory to run your games.  This package is
$65-$75 depending on where you buy it.  It comes with an analysis program
which will figure out for you what can and should be loaded in "HIMEM"
	Good luck.
