Old dos games stopped working

[Guest]

I have two old dos games that i love to play, Welltris and Blake Stone, and
they worked great but all of a sudden they both stopped working. Every time
that I load them, they would start then the system goes back to the desktop!!
Like I said both of these games worked fine, I not changed anything on my
sys.

You don't by any chance get a message saying something about autoexec.nt do
you? That's the most common reason DOS games are failing to run lately.

Hope that helps.
