Hello.

I've never used Dos or Dos Box before. And according the people that I've spoken to, the only way to play my old Thief games (Thief Gold, and Thief 2: The Metal Age) is to use Dos Box.

I was going to install my Thief Gold into my C:/OldGames file, but I get the following message when running the Setup on the Game CD:

"This Product cannot be installed on Windows NT due to a Microsoft DirectX (tm) limitation."

I don't even know what that means, first off. The game box says DirectX 6 is required...and I have DirectX 9 or whatever the latest version is for WinXP.

Also, I did not see ANY of the Thief games in the supported list for Dos Box. If they're not supported, is there any way I can play them besides finding some old computer and slapping Win95 on it?

Ok so after looking around a while, I found something called -lgntforce to be used as:

d:\setup.exe -lgntforce

Now I'm going to attempt to use dosbox. Wish me luck!
