Warcraft II installation
So, I have acquired some .img/.cue formatted versions of the Warcraft 2 - Battle.net edition CDs. I mount the .cue file in Daemon Tools, then mount that drive in Dosbox 0.73 and attempt to install the game. This is what I get:

I was under the impression BNE was supposed to be Windows-only?

My mistake, the image files appear to be cloned CDs of the originals. After trying to run the natively from the autorun, Windows just told me it doesn't like 64 bit Windows at all. >.>

So I got the Battle.net edition, and it works great! The game loads up, I can play it for a bit... and then it locks up Windows 7 completely: I can't alttab, ctrl+alt+del or alt+f4; the game is completely frozen but will finish playing the current track...
Any suggestions?

Probably due to the 64bit incompatibility you wrote about above, Warcraft II BNE being an old game for Windows 95/98SE and all. Turning on compatibility modes for either 98 or XP (whichever Windows 7 offers) doesn't help? Also try to assign only one CPU core for the game with Task Manager, many old Windows games have troubles with more than one CPU.
Virtual Box might be the only option left if nothing above helps. |

CTRL+ALT+DEL, it should give you an option to start Task Manager. In it, when you go to the list of all currently running processes, right-click on the Warcraft II-EXE one and there you should be able to select how many CPU cores are dedicated to the program. Not sure if there was an option to run Warcraft II BNE in a window, which might be safer - hope War2 doesn't crash while you switch out of it to desktop to call the Task Manager.
