Running a Packard Bell Multimedia C110. I scored this as a freebie from a co-worker who was cleaning his basement out. My first DOS rig since about 1995. My sister shipped me a box of my old games that were in my room at my parents house...score! Yeah, there were inevitable floppies that wouldn't read, but one of my CD games--US Navy Fighters--hangs at the dos prompt when launching the game. The readme file says if this happens to disable BIOS Shadow settings. Unfortunately, this system doesn't have any settings like this. I tried looking for BIOS updates but had no luck finding any. I did find a motherboard diagram and a BIOS illustration that indicated these settings should be there. I'm hopeful a BIOS update exists that might enable some extra settings.
Thanks in advance.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
