Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed

Hello everyone I am aware of how well this website can manage so I'm new but will probably return. I'm having an issue with installing this game (which I hear only takes up about half a gigabyte) When I go to dos or windows 95 install the error says Sorry, you need 748160k more to run install program.

Hello everyone I am aware of how well this website can manage so I'm new but will probably return. I'm having an issue with installing this game (which I hear only takes up about half a gigabyte) When I go to dos or windows 95 install the error says Sorry, you need 748160k more to run install program. Please refer to the reference card on how to free more memory. Everytime I get the error the "k" is a different number around this number. I currently run on a Dell pentium 4 with 2 gb of memory and have 13gb free hardrive space. Video Card is 7600GS (nvidia) with 512mb video memory. Are we talking that I need a physical memory dump or something? I've tried to run it on dos but I get really confused when setting it up, but have already downloaded the installer. Thank you for anyone who tries to give me some tips on how to install this game.

You can try running "loadfix" before running the installer. (This eats up conventional memory).
 
or you can try specifying a smaller HD free size in DOSBox. (By default DOSBox shows around 600meg).
 
mount c c:\Games -freesize 100

The installer for the game through DOSbox I meant , still getting the message. I've tried freeing disk space but only suceeded 23000 or so k and I need more.. Could this be because I'm down to around 10 gb on a 79 gb system? I defragmented the disk drive but still nothing
