Hi,

ive got a strange problem...
from yesterday all dos games i have stopped from working...
when i start one of them with vdmsound a window appears and closes immediately... (same thing if i try to run the game without vdms)

i didnt install anything for several days, beside the .net framework (cant believe its due that anyway...)...
so what happened?
any help appreciated

How about you just open one Comamnd Promopt window, then run dosdrv.exe by hand inside it?

Perhaps an experienced exorcist would help... There is surely a demon in your computer. Never use it again without having enough holy water!

But seriously: it is very difficult to help you with such a general problem from the other end of the world. Try to find somebody with a bit of computer experience who can directly look on your computer. I guess it will be some trivial thing.
Nothing is without a reason, you or somebody else had to do something wrong, though you perhaps did not realize it.
