[zach]

i wasnt sure where to post this so dont hurt me.

i have been trying to run an ms-dos based game on windows
xp, but it keeps freezing/crashing. any how-to on how to
run an ms-dos game on windows xp?

set up:
windows xp
soundblaster live! sound card
pentium 4 2.0 Ghz processor

If it requires direct access to the hardware, it won't run on XP, since
the XP DOS prompt is only a simulated or virtual DOS environment. Your
only option is to setup a dual boot situation with DOS or a 9x version
to run "real" DOS for games.

It may be one which won't run under Windows XP. What game is it?

Would be very helpful if you could post the name of the game.
