Well, you should write first what OS are you using, and if you are using emulator to run it or not.

Well, the most obvious answer to this problem would be to use DOSBox.

To run DOS games in Windows XP, you have to either use DOSBox, VDMSound or some other emulators. Those first two are most used ones, and they both are free!

To download them, you can follow links available at abandonia's 'Programs' section. (utilities)

There you'll find also tutorial which you'll need to properly setup and use DOSBox.

First install DOSBox, read tutorial and if you have any additional questions, please post them here.

:bye:
