There is nothing you can do short of using a program to emulate the required state to use the game. DOSBox is such a program, which emulate DOS.

Do not hesitate to post here again would you require assistance with using DOSBox. If you are the least the patient type you could also simply read the readme inside the program and figure out everything by yourself. It is really not that complicated.

dosraider Yeah yeah yeah yeah, whatever _r.u.s.s., that won't help me put them tires on my new Corolla.


Nor will it help me play my ol'ACDC audio cassettes on my state-of-the-art brandnew secondhand CD player.

Come on, is it so much asked to be able to use all my ol absolete stuff on todays gear?

And I want to be able to use my Tandy Basic data cassettes in my Vista PC darned!!!!

And why can my CP/M programs not run on a 64 bits system?

And ......etcetera.

this does not have to do anything with bit adressing, 64 systems are actually backwards compatible

Yeah, indeed.
All is retarded ourdays.
Just go figure, I had some ol'spear tires for my Peugeot 404 that I bought in 1975 and they don't fit on my new Toyota Corolla.

Where In The World/U.S.A. Is Carmen Sandiego?

Every time I try to load either game (I use Windows Vista) I get an error pop-up box that says "16 bit MS-Dos Subsystem" in the top and then it will say in the box itself, "CARMEN.EXE This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. Well, obviously I want to play these games not close them...is there a workaround for this?
