DOS BOX should be extended, by being able to start also Games, only under Win95,98, ME is executable. I use Win7 64Bit and get the Game Dracula Resurrection to do not run correctly.

Have you noticed that the program is called DOSBox? Surprisingly, the authors didn't want to call it Winbox, Windowsbox, 95box or something like it... may it be that they didn't want to support Windows games?

BTW, there are a lot of compatibility settings that you can change using ACT, or you could try using Linux+Wine.

Once I learn C, I will create the much sought-after "Winbox", but until then you'll either have to learn how to install Win95 in DosBox, or better yet, run it in a legit VM such as Bochs or Virtualbox.

How many man/woman-hours went into Wine so far? 😁

1+1=10

I don't suppose you bothered Googling at all before coming to the conclusion that unreasonable demands would be the best solution to your problem?

Apparently the game requires hyperthreading to be disabled.

This sounds like someone used google translate on each word, translating it from German 😉
BoardX, you should let google translate whole sentences instead of translating each word.
Du solltest Dir gesamte Sätze übersetzen lassen, anstatt Wort für Wort, und wenn Du schon so übersetzt, dann nimm den richtigen Wortstamm (z.B. wissen anstatt der Farbe Weiß).
