Re: placing launched MAGIC 7.1 & app dissappears


I have been using the given bat file to launch it.  The line you refer to as
stated in the MAGICXF.bat that launches MAGIC:

start XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 -emulate3buttons

This launches its own window and you can tell it's 8-bit.
I was wondering if I need more RAM on my comp to run it?

I did have it up once and it was slow...
I can't get it back up though.
