Try the compatibility mode by right clicking on the game.

If it doesn't work, the only thing you can try is Virtual PC (a program that emulates another OS under windows)

You can find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx

You must pay if you want the full version (you can download the limited time trial from the site)

thanks, but if anyone can give me a long term relativly free fix on this that would be great, ive searched for ages for this game and now its killing me not being able to play it.

Sorry, i have no more solution.

The only thing you can try is to install Windows 98 in your computer.

Strange, HotU page state that the game is made for DOS while your topic title says you got an error saying that you require Windows.

What exactly was (is) the error message, or what exactly might the problem be?

The_Toad 23-05-2005 04:52 PM

in the dosbox window it gives me the exact message "C:\Power.EXE This Program Requires Microsoft Windows." but if I try to start it outside of dosbox it tells me that its for dos.
