Hi there,
There is a method I have heard of but I'm not sure if it will work. Create a desktop icon for the game is there isn't one already, then take the following steps:

Not to sure really,
Is there any websites on the packaging? If so try visiting these and see if there is any form of patch. If not try e-mailing the company that makes the game. Hope this helps, Cornzey -------------------- If I'm giving you help and I don't reply within 24 hours PM me with the topic link. |

Hve u ever heard of the program "DOSBOX" It creates a virtual Dos shell for older PC games to work on and is ESPECIALLY useful for XP and Vista s these OS do not have a real DOS system on them. Search for it on google.

Search for it on google. I've not used DOSBOX yet, but I thought it was only for DOS programs (games) and not for Windows programs (games), e.g. Windows 95/98 games. -------------------- "Applying computer technology is simply a matter of
