ms dos games in XP

[lesmich50]

Hi people,

can anyone enlighten me as to how to play ms dos games in XP? I've formatted a floppy to read ms-dos (ballistic game) but when I inset the disc (A drive) is comes up with command prompt: :A/..........

what do I tell the command prompt?

Are there any websites specific to this?

Cheers

Mitch

Using all of the compatability settings in xp shold allow you to run them. Check 85 and all of the other stuff then run the program. This is better than in 2000.

Sorry mate, no go.

Program Compatibilty Wizard won't allow the 16 bit application on my 32 bit. However info was sent to MS for their comment

thanks

Anyone else?
