Error >> "Ran out of stack buffers" - Urgent DOS help requir

I bought Transport Tycoon which uses a DOS emulator (I think) called DOSBOX. When I run the game it doesn't execute and I get a message in a black screen saying "Ran out of stack buffers",

I'm using Vista. I'm pretty sure this program used to work when I had it on my other PC a long time ago.

Please help!

Kind Regards,

Tim.

You may try installing MS DOS or FreeDOS on a VMWare virtual machine and copy your game in it. 64MB RAM and 500MB expanding disk for your VM will be more than enough. Or alternatively, unless you really want to play the original TT, you may try OpenTTD.

you could try to alter the settings of dosbox to give the game more ram.
