Hello,
I can run the dos games, but then I have no keybord in the game. There isn't any button who works from the keybord. I have tried the compability mode of windows xp (my operating system) and I have also tried a Dos Emulator (Abandon Loader) but nothing helped. I use the Service Pack 2.
What can I do to result his problem ?

Best wishes Milchkanne !

Do you use a USB keyboard?

Windows XP Service Pack 2 has some problems. It may be SP2's fault, though unlikely.

No, I don't use a USB Keybord. My Keybord is a Cordless Desktop from Logitech.
So could it be possible that the "cordless" function cause the problem. But I don't believe that because on my fathers laptop I have the same problem with all dosgames.

You're in Germany right? I wonder if the German keyboard format is not compatible with DOS...

Anyway, in the meantime try DOSBox, http://dosbox.sourceforge.net and see if that helps.
