J Jimmy S. Jun 14, 2004 #2 Hi Joyce, Here's information on DOSBOX and VDMSound which should help. When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available, or search at: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP. If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php and http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm For sound issues use: http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound Good Luck! -- Cheers, Windows XP MVP Shell / User Jimmy S. http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Game FAQs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=FH;[LN];gms Visit my Zone.com / Gaming Helpsite: http://nibblesnbits.tk or Call / Contact MS Support at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=sz;en-us;top My advice is donated "AS IS" without warranty; nor do I confer any rights. _________________________________________________________ | I can play the game,but no sound.This game is msdos based. | How can i down load dosbox?
