I have an old DOS game (11th Hour : the Sequal to 7th Guest) which I
have been trying to run in XP Home. According to the installation
instructions, the game will not run from a command prompt. With
Win98Se, on restarting, I had the option to boot in DOS mode, but this
option doesn`t seem to be available with XP. and as this game is
started with a .bat file, I cannot create a PIF either. Any help to
enable me to run the game would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Kate

and follow instructions.
