Runnig old stuff under NT based OS
Ever had a problem with some older title to run under Win2k or XP?

This writting from VOGONS may be of your interest.

BTW it also speaks of what compatibility Win2k or XP actually have to run DOS stuff - once I falsely said it "emulates" and older processor.

I was wrong - it emulates the software environment, but uses the same hardware as Windows.
So this means some older titles are f0x0red - since P4 or Athlons are not 100% compatible with their ancerstors in terms of their opeartive commands - thankfully this is a very small portion.

The said forum is a good place to get other compatibility programs.
