I click on the .exe and then it appears a BLACK WINDOW. After that, I can't do anything but to switch off my computer. This happens to me with a lot of old games.
Could you help me, please? :help: |

In future you need to give more information - what game(s), what OS, basic system specs etc. In this case you're probably just trying to run them natively in Windows XP, which is generally a bad idea - try using DOSBox to emulate a DOS environment.

Do you try and press Ctrl + Alt + Del and then go to Task Manager to close it down? And yes need more info to give help.

Typical utterly clueless n00b trying to run DOS games in an NT-architecture enviroment. And it's not like it wasn't all covered in the FAQ's - and in detail...

Have you tried running the game using the DosBOX emulator?
