I have Windows XP Home addition and I cant get HELL: A Cyberpunk Thriller to run on my system. Its A Dos game made in 1995. any thoughts on how i can get it to run??
What have you tried?
Also in your profile, what do you mean by 'Legacy Audio'? and do you mean to say 'RADEON AGP'?
Yes, it’s my fault.
ive tried using the program capibility wizard to change the load up settings to use win95/98 on the program and that dident work. I know that XP doesent allow me to use dos without xp running so i downloaded a DOS emulation program..i think it was dosbox. but i dont know how to use it.
😒
Compatibility modes are for WINDOWS GAMES ONLY.
Please read the posting guidelines. I was going to try to be nice and see if you'd give me more information without needing to tell you to since you filled out profile properly, but apparently not.
Also you did not answer the two other questions I had.
Yes, it’s my fault.

Apparently this title is DOS AND VESA/SVGA only. So he's probably going to have both audio and video issues.
RESURECTION!!!
Had any headway been made with this. I also cannot get this game to work.
I notice that when the game is run with DosBox, the game returns an error stating that you have 0k video ram available and you need 512k. Wich is hillarious considering I have 64 MB. I'm guessing that the game is somehow unable to address any of the vid memory due to the built in vesa driver it uses. I notice on the CD that there are other vesa drivers to try, however, I don't see how they could be used in XP...

Try running it directly from a windows dos box (not the DosBox emulator) without music and sound first. Also, try selecting 640x480x256c video mode as preferred resolution (if there are more video modes available in game's setup). Tell us how it went.
Thanks but this doesn't work. I only have XP installed to test anyway and no DOS driver yet exists for the SB audigy...

Forget music & sound for a while. Try running the game without them, just to be on the safe side.
I'm sorry, thats what I meant, even without sound, it just crashes with the video memory error...

It seems another case of "Hates NT" symptom. Well, you should wait for next DosBox release.
