<div class="IPBDescription">Windows 2k</div>Argh, I was gonna get some of those old games I just to play on dos about 9 years ago, so I get some of those old classic games, but windows 2k cant run them! ARGH!
I know this is because windows2k needs more memory (only for itself) so it wont run them (or its something like that)
but my question here is, is there any way to fix this?

If anyone could help me here id be kinda... uhm, glad, lol

    Sorry banan - the reason is not to do with memory, it's to do with how DOS games have to specifically talk to hardware. WinNT-based machine don't allow that. Your old apps are not going to work...
