I would like to thank Jose Fanciso for his advise, but
unfortunatly is didn't solve my troubles. I tried to set
the compatibility to win95 and I still won't work.

I should have noted in my earlyer post that I got
somekind of error when I tried to open the game.
Something like can't open COM3

I also tried a DOS emulator but somehow the game was not
supported because of a protected mode...

Plz help me out,
Bad Joker
 
Hi Badjoker,

Here's the complete deal when it comes to using DOS Games...
--
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 :-)

Cheers,
Jimmy S.
