This still didnt work. I tried it and after the publisher screen comes out
the game wont load and it would take me back to windows............

Start - Help and Support - running older programs (or compatibility mode)
will walk you through. Also, check the manufacturer's site. Some have
patches or steps to take, others don't give any help.
 
Hi PJlumbano,

Well any program from a 3.1 environment was written for DOS
as back then Windows was an application more than an OS. ;-)

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 :-)
