Something wierd has happened.
Once I could run certain Dos games on my XP computer.
(Warcraft,Jagged Alliance,SPMBT,Wooden Ships and Iron Men).
Now my computer no longer runs them, they crash when I try to run them.
With some I get a message about certain files missing, in others I don't.
I have not upgraded my system, have installed no new Service packs from Microsoft for XP,have not changed video cards or video card drivers since these games ran fine. The only change is that I had a DVD rom drive installed as a second CD drive. Could this have screwed up my DOS capability.
I have dosbox, but the games run much slower on it and for some reason when I try to run dosbox fullscreen it crashes
My specs are P4 2GZH
512MB of memory
Sound blaster Live
Nividia GEFOrce 4 4200 Ti card
and am running XP Pro.
Any reason why this would happen all of a sudden? Is it a memory issue.
Some Dos games I never could run until Dosbox, but the ones I am concerned about did run fine until a couple of weeks ago and I did not , to my knowledge, to anything to alter the XP system that would have caused this like install a new service pack, etc.
Thanks for you help in this matter.
Could the c rashing FullScreen DosBox have something to do with this?
