169787 2003-08-23 11:44:00 Are the games DOS games that run in Windows, then u may have to surf the net for programs that can emulate the DOS environment for these games. Altho XP has the Virtual DOS kernal, i "dont" know if it will work properly. Sorry bout that. vk_dre (195)
169788 2003-08-23 13:09:00 Well I was able to use Compatibility mode in Win XP Pro to get an MSDos program working long before SP1 came out. I have applied SP1 to Win XP Pro and the progran keeps running.

It did before SP1.

In case you want to know it was Termail ( for Fidonet )

I have run this under MSDOS 5.0, MSDOS 6.22, Win 3.11, Win95, Win98, Win98SE, WinME, and WinXP.

Sorry to have to say this but you DON'T need SP1 for this feature!!!

169790 2003-08-24 02:09:00 Sometimes I've found with old games like Wing Commander, its better to start them up in a cmd prompt. Worked for me and stopped the thing crashing during game :) Later on you can put the command into a small batch file to make the program execute faster. PoWa (203)
