I have installed an old DOS/Windows game on my Windows 98 operating systems computer. My sound card is built onboard into the VIA KT266A motherboard which has hardware Soundblaster Pro for Windows DOS box and real-mode DOS legacy compatibility with driver support for Windows 98. Apart from the lack of sound, the game plays great on my computer. Ron	ronr (1234)
