I read in the NT compatible Game lists about how you need to run APCOMPAT. EXE for WINDOWS 2000 so that it detects the right amount of disk space. How do you do something like that for Windows XP? Any help will be appreciated.

"DOS" under win2k closing right away

Lactose_Intolerant

I recently pulled out my old games collection and wanted to play them on my pc. Anyways, I noticed they didn't have sound in dos when I played them in dos. So I downloaded soundfx and vdmsound. For some reason, vdmsound never gave me the option when you right click on the file to use vdmsound.
