Supreme snowboarding AKA Boarder Zone

Rogue Jedi X
Hi there. I have Supreme Snowboarding (full version) and it doesn't work on my system (Win2k). Usually I would give up and boot to Win98, but then I noticed something: There is a compatibility patch for Boarder Zone in ACT 2.

Win2k making certain DOS games "frozen"

Rogue1
I'm having an odd problem with certain old DOS games, which, according to all the sources I can find, should work fine in win2k, albeit with no sound in some cases (eg. Tyrian 2000). Basically, when I run the executable, the game will seem to load and the menu, or the first load-screen, will show.

Magic Carpet 2 (game from the ice age), runs, but barely...

Mystiq
Contrary to the compatibility information listed on this site, it does run, though it's not exactly playable, at least on my computer. Sometimes it complains about not being able to copy level data onto the hard drive (I find copying the CD to your hard drive helps a lot in this case) and other times Windows hisses ...

Sherlock Holmes MOTM using XP

I am having a problem playing this game on my new computer using XP. The computer crashes back to the desktop when I try to complete the puzzles.

A few queries for Dosfreak

Curley_Boy
This is one for Dosfreak. . . (But I'd love to hear from anyone else with expertise in this area) I've downloaded your NTGames spreadsheet, and from it's contents it seems you have managed to get some games working that I cannot even get to load.
