Black and White

Picked this game up on the cheap as it got rave reviews
when it came out.

I have installed it but when i try to run the game it
brings up the loading screen and then switches itself
off. I've had a look at the setup list and apparently the
game reads that my Brand new PC is running at -1629mhz an
the game needs 333mhz to run. Anyone got any ideas as to
why it's reading a minus??

Hi Neal,

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 .

If you prefer to explore more advanced methods, here are two of the best
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and: http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm
