I used Win98, but it was a real pain in the ascii to get the CD drive to work in dos, as well as the mouse.
I was trying to get Dark Forces going, and eventually I did, but the sound lagged behind the video, so I started changing the sound properties in the iMuse and now all I get is a stack overflow. :mad:

Install DOS and forget about Windows 3.1.

also, i do have an actual computer that I dedicated for DOS games, but having a virtual machine makes it much much simpler.

And MY GOD, i have totaly forgotten how SLOW floppy disk installs were.

i cant get it to run a game, it says that there is not enough memory for it to run.

It basicly says there is not enough conventional memory.

You'll need to make a boot disk that frees up memory. DOS was and still is a pain to get games that need a lot of EMS or XMS memory to run.
