    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

    I hate half of you...especially the dumb ones.
    Some of you are on my blacklist and so shall be any asswife that tries to prove he's worth anything.
    If this post somewhat offends your silly arse,then I proved my point.
    You have been warned so don't cry to your momma about it later on...or any mods for that matter.

    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).
