| 350812 | 2005-04-30 20:40:00 | dunno if this'll help but there are apps which you can find that allow you to run a 'dos box' in xp, (i'm assuming you are runnin xp it sounds like it from your error message). Running the game in a 'dos box' may be your answer | drcspy (146) | ||
| 350813 | 2005-05-01 01:46:00 | yep im running windows xp home, where would i find this "dos box" is there another name for it ? will try doing a search in google, thanks for your reply. | lisamarie01 (6731) | ||

| 350815 | 2005-05-01 05:34:00 | well i went to that site but didnt have much luck, either the links they gave didnt work or the info didnt help anything., it says on the website for the game to make directory called c:\blood then open the bb file which i did but it still doesnt work tries to go into dos just flicks on the screen then goes back into windows and comes up with the error, tried to download that file dosbox think it was called but the link wouldnt download it. grrrr gosh who would think just wanting to play a game would cause so much stress lol and im not usually into games but this one is cool and addictive :) thanks for advice so far :) | lisamarie01 (6731) | ||
