What game is that? If i've got it i'll try it on my xp computer.

In the properties there should be an option to adjust the config file. Remove a line that says emm386

Well, not all games were fully compatible with DosBox. If it doesn't work, which means you have to use Win98 to run it.

Speaking of it, I tested Duke Nukem 3D on DosBox and it ran like hell. Luckilly I still have Win98. :)

Hmm I've got a coupla-thousand old dos games, but not that one.

Normally I just make a shortcut to the game, then right-click, select properties, compatibility and choose win98. I've only just gotten my xp computer and its not switched on right now, but I think you can change the config and autoexec settings on a per-game basis.

I've never used dosbox because all my games are still on my win95 pc (haven't tried moving them over yet).
