So how do you guys (if you do) run old DOS games, all my machines have Win2K and having dusted off a copy of the excellent game Screamer it wont run at all. Been looking at something called DOSBox which works with some games but no joy. Short of installing Win95/98 I dont know what to do, any ideas?

Cheers

Yeah, I still play Frontier quite a bit under Win2k. You'll need to find its memory requirements and set them for that DOS program by right clicking the icon (so do it from within Windows) and setting the memory configuration from there. Will depend on the game, what it needs.

Steve.
