When looking at game descriptions under the compatability section if it has two links for say the DOSBox and the Boot Disk does that mean that I have to have both of them or just one? I am asking because I noticed that on the boot disk page it said this will not work with NTFS partitions. so does that mean that I can't play dos games or what? Anything you could tell me about this would be helpfull

Thanks

The DOSBox flag mean that the game been tested in DOSBox succesfully. The XP flag mean that the game been tested in XP successfully. For the boot disk, I don't think it limit you to use the program only in DOS. It's only a gateway to take you to the default boot disk which would hopefully help you if you were to try to make the game run on a pure DOS machine.

Win98SE should be able to run 90% of all games (if you take for granted it's not made for a newer version of Windows) and XP should be able to run most games if you use VDMSound.

Would that mean the issues I'm having with Blood in XP would be solved if I simply opened with VDM Sound? cool

Probably. There is a lot of trial and errors involved in this, so try it and it will be for the better if it works. k:
