Civilization 2 problem

ConQueso
Can't manage to get Civilization 2 to play multiplayer on a WinXP and Win95 system. Both computers see eachother and can transfer files back and forth, and both play the Age of Empires 2 demo in multiplayer just fine.

Security vulnerabilities playing on-line games?

SnapperOne
I've recently begun playing my first on-line game, Tank Mania. While the game is a lot of fun, and I have Norton's AV, SpySweeper, and SpyBot active at all times, I've begun wondering what types of security problems (trojans, viruses, hacker issues, etc.

DOS Emulator for Win2k?

PanMan
Is there a DOS emulator that will run on Win2000 so that I can run some of my old DOS games. I understand that there may be sound sound incompatabilities. I have looked around, but all I could find were DOSEmu and FreeDOS, which seemed to be for Unix which wasn't useful.

Privateer 2 windows version

Sanchez
The windows version of Privateer 2 runs alright except it goes as fast as my computer can. When you're landed on the planet it's fine because you get to go through the menus real quick but while in space it's so out of control that there is no way in hell that you can shoot anything because the game is running so fast.
