I have windows ME and I have a game the runs in dos (the 7th guest). I thought I had installed it correctly using ms dos prompt. But when the game loads to the menu screen (an ouija board) the screen and music freeze. Also, when it freezes the only way I can get back out is to alt cntrl del. Is ME just not compatible with dos games? Can anyone help?No it is not, as a rule. You can install REAL DOS on there, and IF the partition is 2 gig or less, and IF your sound card is supported, and then if you install Windows in some fashion you are set.

It is easier with something like Partition Magic.

Pretty cool, huh?ok so i guess how do i find out all of the if's you have mentioned? i have no idea what a partition is or how i find out the difference, or what sound card i have? Is partition magic a program i can download? Or is that sarcasm? i am supremely computer illiterate and any help you can be would be hugely appreciated. thanx so much. and if u have im the name is auntmanna.No don't do IM and never will. Partition Magic is a program but it is not free. There are others too, you can google for them. BASICALLY you NEED a section of your hard drive (2 gig or less) to format and install DOS (have to have DOS floppies though) and then you need to have a driver for your sound card. If you have a new computer at all, these will not be AVAILABLE.

The cost really gets prohibitive, so you may be better off buying an older model computer with a version of DOS and a soundcard if you are determined to play this game, or others of that era. Think Pentium 1 or so, with a real soundblaster card. I have such a machine that I use for this purpose and it WORKS great.
