    I have literally hundreds of dos games and not one of them will work with any compatability setting in windows 7. Ive spent hours trying and googling.
    Google tells me the only way is dosbox.
    loony just said 7 doesn't have full dos support.

    Sorry but i dont believe you

    i dont really know what to say, i found this on google aswell when i was trying to play starcraft, and it worked fine with me, ive heard cases that it doesnt work, but there are cases of people that are able to make it work, i dont really know whats wrong, i was just reading, and maybe you have the 64bit version of w7, it says that this causes problems with 16bit programs

    well....i guess you could always get VMWare, or something of the sort, install DOS and play them, lot easier than it sounds, and if you know where to go, completely free....


    EDIT: i'm running 64 bit.....

    Windows XP for *us*.

    First of all we customize Windows to look like Vista but it is XP.

    I resetted all to XP style.

    Also the monitor I use won't work on Vista for unknown reasons...so I use XP.

    Very happy with the ability to use 2 monitors :)
