I'm running XP Pro on my computer and no matter what I do, even trying Dosbox I can't get these games to run. Can anyone step me through it?
In Dosbox it gives me an EMS error. In XP, if I change the install to win95 compatible, it goes to a blank screen. |

I'm not sure about this, but I believe that setting EMS=false in your config file, should solve the problem.

but if it won't install, then how do I change that? Do a complete drag of the entire drive of disk 1, or all the disks?

Is this made by the same guys as Strike Commander? There's a whole long list on this in the manual.

What sometimes works is to install the game in win95 compatibilty mode and then set all the exe files also to win95 comp. mode.

Nar, if it's what I think it is you need to edit the XMS parameters in the bootdisk. If I can find SC I'll post what the manual says.

I think WC 3 & 4 are just two of these completely-non-Win-compatibile games.

Yeah, this sounds about right. You need to boot it in DOS mode changing a special Extended Memory paramenters and stuff. Still looking for SC
