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 :unsure:

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.
