I am trying to play this older PC game by sierra, Phantasmagoria. It's for Windows 3.1 or Dos. I tryed compatibility mode for 95 with 256 resolution & the picture was pin stripped and the sound crackled. The Dos install worked bought the same. Anyone know how to get this to work on XP correctly?

Download DOSBox and this PC Game Compatibility list, mind you it's in excel format so you may need Excel Viewer if you don't have Excel installed on your system.

I played with it for a while and got it to work in Compatibility mode. Windows 98. Now I just have some crackle & pop in the sound and the screen won't goto full screen just half? Anyone know?
