Do any of the DOS games even work with vista? I tried running Wolf and Prince of Persia but everytime I clicked on the .exe files it gave an error message saying 'this system doesn't run on full-screen'. What do I do or is it simply because I'm using Vista? Any solutions?  |

The same rules apply as windows xp, 2000, and NT.
They do not have dos included as part of the operating system.
You must use dosbox to emulate dos. When installed drag and drop the games .exe file onto the dosbox icon on the desktop, works a treat. |

I just downloaded dosbox 0.72 I can't wait to see what has been fixed I wonder if it would make build engine games run smoother such as Duke Nukem3d and such. |
