| 432869 | 2006-02-22 06:38:00 | Hi everyone, I have the computer game Z, which requires Win 95/98 to run, and it won't run on XP. My computer tells me that the game has been loaded successfully, but when I try to run it, it comes up with the software designer's logo, and then it switches off and reverts to my computer wall paper. I've tried using the compatibility wizard (as suggested by the game manufacturer), but no dice. I happen to really like this game- does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone succeeded in making this game work on XP? Your help would be much appreciated- thank you! |

OK, so assuming it's DosBox, where can I get it from please? And more importantly, will it mess with XP? I've only had the computer a week, it would suck to kill it already! :D |
