Try the compatibility tab then instead and set compatibility for DOS. that's the only way you will get DOS games to work in windows... if possible that is.

[_r.u.s.s.]

there is no compatibility for dos, just wins and it doesn't help

There is compatibility for win95 which is as close as you'll get it. But besides that you are pretty much stuck. What OS did you have before when it all worked??

[_r.u.s.s.]

the SAME os, same users, same everything, everything crashed when i reinstalled.. but i wrote it at begining

Well... did a google search... very good thing to do when in need of help... check this site out:

That's all I can say. I don't use xp to emulate dos... prefer an emulator for that and I use D-fend and my specs are slower than yours and I get excellent speed in everything.

[_r.u.s.s.]

nothing that cures my sickness=)
the only thing i can work out is that my autoexec.nt and config.nt are corrupted
or is there something wrong with my cmd.exe?
anybody else who knows what the hell is wrong?

Would you maybe tell what's wrong with DosBox on your PC that you don't want to use it?

Moved to the right forum.

read this topic.
If it still doesn't work, go to your Windows/System32 folder and copy autoexec.nt and config.nt into your game's folder. Then right-click on your exe file, go into Properties, then the Program tab, then Advanced, and change the autoexec and config pathnames from %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT to your current folder.

If this post still doesn't help you, you have four choices:
1. play the games slowly and crappily in dosbox (why they dont run fine i cant understand)
2. re-format and re-install windows, it might fix your problem
3. buy a $300 pentium 1 box which runs windows95 or 98 and play on that
4. format, install windows 95 or 98, then create a partition which is 90% of your total HD space (or whatever, as long as you have at least 1GB free in your windows 95/98 installation partition), format the big partition and install windowsXP on it. Now your computer runs XP, but you can play dos games under real windows95/98.
