Hi,
I'm having some problems in running a dos game (WC: Privateer) in WinXP pro. I've been using Abandon Loader with VDMSound and this message keeps coming up:

Protected mode driver is not responding to EMS function calls.
Make sure your EMS driver is not configured with the NOEMS option.
If it is, replace the option "NOEMS" with "RAM".

Please help, I've started threatening my computer. Talking to myself is one thing, talking to a bunch of circuit boards is another!

Here's the short version:

You have very few options.

1) Virtual PC works, but it doesn't perform as smoothly as a "real" PC. Also, it's not really meant for games and it's not cheap.

2) Use an old PC just for playing games like this.

3) My personal choice, Dual-boot with DOS/Win9x.
