With "thrown out" I imagine you mean throwing it in the trash or have it recycled? In that case I've only thrown away broken parts that are easy replaceable, like case fans or broken PSUs. I've given away or sold parts and whole computers but I've not regretted it (yet). Everything went to other …

I bought Anno 1701 from GoG.com but it kept crashing on large scenario's. The tech support gave me the best suggestion ever: don't play the big scenario's. I kid you not. Their fix to a broken game was not playing the game.

Getting the sound to work correctly in DOS can be tricky. It all depends on how the sound drivers are set up in Windows and for DOS. ESS cards often have pretty good DOS support but you have to make sure you load the DOS driver for it. From what I can gather online you're laptop has an ESS-Maestro2E …
