im usually pretty good at getting DOS games to work, i was with some effort
able to get 10th anniversary arena to work
and i was able to get Daggerfall to work on my vista pc
but the problem is when i got to install ARENA DELUXE it says something like
Cannot install boot to disk or something along those lines
Im guessing i need to do something along the lines with MS-DOS or something but im not quite sure what i need to do. Trying to install it is a pain
but i just have real nostalgia with these type games.
In a more detailed manor, i take the INSTALL.EXE application and place it into DOS the install comes up i configure the sound correctly, although the
button below sound isn't highlighted ( the install button ) the only button besides that which is highlighted is README and "Make Boot Floppy"
if anyone can help me with this it'd be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for anyones support.
