Check out this site / program for playing old Dos games!

in that site there is only prog that solve the sound problem, this is not good for me

on the icon that you click to kick off the game - right click on it and select "Compatibility" and try playing with the different options, I recommend trying:
Run This Program In Windows 95
and tick:
Run in 256 colors
Run in 640x480
Disable visual themes

depends on how old the program is also. i have some dos/win 95/win 98 games that wont run on xp at all

Most Dos games work that way on my PC though. Did you download and try it already?
