I Need Help with DOS

[Laddy]

I have no idea how to use this things. I installed Might and Magic IV and V (World of Xeen) via CD, but I have no idea how to run it. Could a friend help me, plz?

Is it the game icon isn't launching the game or are you trying to launch the game in DOS? I mean you're probably better off launching the program from explorer. If it's not running set the compatability options back to 95/98 and it should be ok.

No problem, I usually play old pc games too so I know how much of a pain this can be to figure out.

[Laddy]

Thanks! I died within 5 minutes but I will persevere!

I found the best solution for DOS is to burn it with fire

Why not use dosbox?

[Iceglow]

Because in windows vista/7/xp it's just not needed and you can set the compatability options back to 95/98 and it'll work fine? Especially for games.
