When I try to install games on Windows XP the command prompt window opens and I get the installation options, but before it installs it asks me to insert Disk #1 into the floppy disk drive, which I can't do because it is a downloaded game. How can I get around this problem?

Almost all games that are hosted on Abandonia.com don't need to be installed.
As soon as you have unzipped them to a certain folder the game is playable.
Do know that most games that we host here don't run under plain Win XP. You need DosBox. It's a program that emulates an Dos environment and you can run the games in there.

Get DosBox and read more about it here.

You forgot one bit of crucial information: Which game is that?

It was with several games, top on the list were Pirates Gold and Ultima Underworld: Stygian Abyss. I got the DOSBox and they both seem to be working perfectly. Thanks a lot guys.
