Hi
I am trying to run Destruction Derby2 on my new Xp machine and cannot get it
to go. The program starts and attempts to begin, but it then closes and I
cannot play the actual game. Any ideas, or is there maybe a patch that I
need for this.
Thanks heaps
Noddie
 
Hi Noddie,

Destruction Derby 2 was released as a DOS game way back when.

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.

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php

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 :-)
