THe game Is Commandos: Behind Enemy lines and the other is Close Combat: BATTLE of the Bulge 2. Comandos is 150 MB and i dont have the other game with me, but im sure its relative 3. I have a DImension 8250 with a Pentium 4 processor well when you start up right when the system is booting up press F5 and go down to where it says start with command prompt. that MAY work but if it doesn't just press the pwr button on ur comp and reboot normally.Since you said these games were on a disk try to get them on your computer. Put the disk in and go to my computer, then try to copy the files over (since these are older games) and use DOS BOX (a MS-DOS EMULATOR).

well when you start up right when the system is booting up press F5 and go down to where it says start with command prompt. that MAY work but if it doesn't just press the pwr button on ur comp and reboot normally.Since you said these games were on a disk try to get them on your computer.
