Some of my dos games will not run in Windows 98SE. I want to try to run them in dos(the version that comes with windows 98SE). What is the command to execute the programs, as I am not that knowledgeable about dos? Is it run and then the program name? When I try that I get bad command or file name. Thanks for the help. Glenn

Type the program name only(usually has .exe)If the game works with DOS you can read the instructions that came with it. Good Luck
