| 333003 | 2005-05-14 08:11:00 | He meant the Friday that Duke Nukem Forever comes out. Speaking of which, I bought Duke Nukem 3D a couple of days ago for $1 - new. But I forgot that it is a DOS game and XP doesn't seem even remotely interested. Is there any simple answer to make it run on XP? |

Is there any simple answer to make it run on XP? Strange, mine works on XP fine. Try running it with compatibility mode (right click on file/shortcut) Try running it from a command line/batch file DOS emulator/VMWare as a last resort |

An example is running Ubuntu under Windows XP HomeOf course this wouldn't be a viable solution, as the trial only works for 30 days, and I doubt that it'd be worth the US$200 to buy just to run Duke Nukem 3D :) Unless of course other uses could be found for VMWare (Plus other OS licenses which would be needed, like MS DOS, to run DN3D). So do you own VMWare Edward? Or are you using the trial version? I haven't been able to justify the cost to buy it yet :( Mike. |

| 333010 | 2005-05-15 03:48:00 | I use the full version (Found an old copy alaw office), so yes I own the full version an alternative would be making another partition, installing MSDOS (Using a free tool like XOSL as a boot loader), and running it that way. Of course, it's complicated (ish), and since it was $1 may not be worth the effort. Try compatibility mode as suggested above. Or maybe there's a patch somewhere... ;) |
