hi, i have a game called Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and its pretty old, i
think 97' or 98. Well, i have a new computer now and it has Windows XP on
it but when i go to insert the game, it says "The system file is not suitable
for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications." Is there any way i
can download or put MS-DOS to my computer even though i have Windows XP???
thanks

Hi David Jr,

When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available.

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/faq.php and
http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm For sound
issues use: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound Good Luck! Smile
