Comment: Hi; My name is Steven Whitehouse. I'm unable to play ms-dos games such as SF1 & SF2 to run in windowsme while using the ms-dos prompt window. I did the correct things in ms-dos prompt. Like, checking prevent ms- dos from detecting windows and close on exit. I also changed the screen from min view to full view. But when I go an load SF1 & SF2 which are dos games. It reads Illegal Operation messages. My Question is? what else do I need to do so I can play ms-dos games in ms-dos prompt? Thanks in advance Steven Whitehouse
P.S. Please send me and email of your answer to my question. My email is listed with this post. Thanks and take care.
