I'm trying to run a really old win95 game, Gizmos & Gadgets. I was pointed towards you guys, and after many failed attemps, I finally realized what to do. As I try and pull up the .exe file, I always get the error "This program must be run under win32"

What does this mean?

They said I could use DOSBOX to run this game...two of them on yahoo answers.

this may be off topic for this forum, but when I try running regularly I get an error about not being able to find my MIDI driver for my sound card...?

By "running regularly" do you mean running the game in Windows without DOSBox?

It's possible that your sound card or drivers doesn't support MIDI. What kind of sound card do you have?

Gizmos&Gadgets is a dos game, but either you got a different game with
the same name or a win32-installer package of the game.

It is the same game; I used to play it all the time. Would I have to buy one that isn't win32-installer; because that IS what it has.

Uhm if it is the exact same game you played back in dos games, then dig up
your old disks and it'll work right away.
If it's some windows game, don't bother with *DOS*box as DosFreak said.
