If you're talking about DOS-Only titles, Win95B or higher will give you FAT32 support so you can have a good-sized partition without wasting tons of space. If you're including Windows titles, I would say either version of Win98. Word-of-Warning: A lot of soundcards lose their DosBox support in Win98 …

You might try running "Windows Update and see if anything about "MSI" or an Installer upgrade is available for XP.

I think it should run in DosBox, but honestly, you're better off emulating the Amiga or Genesis versions (Especially the audio). showthread.php?threadid=417

Finally found my GK CD and was able to test the save/restore option only while on the main map. For the most part, this works for me. Haven't done a lot of in-depth testing, so there are still no guarantees. This is a pain as you must go to the map every time, but it's better than nothing.

Check and see if the Windows version is available on your disks or CD. It will be a SETUP.EXE with a "shield" icon instead of the usual INSTALL.BAT. Running the Windows version with all compatibility mode options turned on should work.

You'll probably need Vlad on this. Had you modified your CONFIG.NT file in any way? If I were you, I would uninstall VDMSound completely, then reinstall to another directory (I tend to like the nice compliant 8+3 directory names like C:\Utils\Audio\VDMSound). This might be an OS-level problem. You …
