I am trying to install Detective Chess (downloaded from http://bindweed.com/det/det.htm ) on my Windows 7 PC, but when I run the setup.exe file I get the error message: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.

>Blood works just dandy, but there's an addon called 'rage against the machine' but the installer won't work under DosBox. You have to have windows ONLY, and that's the only way she'll play. I have a Mac, and am using Boxer, so any help appreciated, as is any DosBox news Sorry, but all I can suggest …

So far I've got every PC game I like working on my laptop (Windows XP, Serice Pack 2, 512MB, 2GHz, 32MB ATI Radeon 7500) via normal installation, VDMSound or DOSBox, except one; Carmageddon (the original, not C2 or C3). Actually, I can run it fine, using only VDMSound, but then it's software 320x200 …

It depends on what type of games you like, of course, but the following should all work fine: Duke Nukem 3D (awesome game), Shadow Warrior, Carmageddon, Doom 1 and 2, and all of those games have very good freeware mods and add-ons available from fan sites (use Google.com to find them). Also there's …

I tried using loadfix before SGD, with no success, so I told SGD to call a batch file instead of X128.EXE, and the batch file called loadfix then X128, but still with no success. Are there any command line arguments for loadfix, that I can try? And does loadfix have to be on the same line, or the …

Sorry mate, but I don't understand, what is "loadfix"? Thanks.

I've just discovered that DOSBox has been giving me an error message when it exits ( :blush: ), I didn't notice it because it's in a DOS Window behind the other DOS Window that comes up, and both close very quickly. Anyway, after [ALT GR] + [PRNT SCRN]-ing it, I find that the error message is: …

If you open up the dosbox.conf and modify the buffers value for whichever sound card your DOS program is using then you might probably fix your problem. Look under [mixer] and modify blocksize and prebuffer Thanks, I've halved the two values I found in D.O.G. (the Windows front-end I'm using for …

Thanks for replying. as experiment: before starting that SGD run command.com See what happends. I did, but it din't make any difference, DOSBox still exits when X128 does.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I'm trying to get a DOS program to run under DOSBox, and whilst it runs, it has two slight problems. The program is X128, a ZX Spectrum emulator, and whilst it runs fine in Windows 98 (it's a DOS program), it will not run under XP. My system is a 2GHz laptop, …
