EMS driver?

[Newbie12]

I'm trying to run an old DOS game on my computer. When I execute the file, a window says:
----------------------MAX-FX Error report-----------------
No EMS driver found!!
Please make sure that an EMS driver will be init in your
CONFIG.SYS File i.e.:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 2048


I use windows XP and the CONFIG.SYS file is empty

What should I do?

Try running the game in compatibility mode with windows 98... Right click on the EXE file for the program and click on properties. then click on compatiblilty tab. change to windows 98 and see if it works then. most likely not if it requires something in dos to work.
