Is there anything else I can do?

I've tried everything that has been mentioned on this message board, but I still can't run any of my games. Every time I try, I just get a blank screen. Is there anything else that can be done to get games like Scorched Earth and Commander Keen to work on stupid Windows XP?

hmmm

You must have missed it .. COmmander keen 1,2,3 work fine but 4,5,6,7 need DOSbox or VDMS support

Look in getting sound to work in this section

Some games just plain won't work on WinXP, regardless of what you do. Probably the best thing to do is "borrow" an old 3/486 from your 80 year old nieghbore and run it on that instead. Old, outdated computers are a dime a dozen these days... I found a good one for $2.00.

does anyone know the command prompt, to play Scorched Earth on windows 95?

yust run the command prompt, it will say C:\windows
type C:\windows> cd..
b ..... C:\cd ****(type the directory wh. it is installed)
..... C:\*****> ****.exe

This should work!
