The game worked but the PC crashed after about ... 5-10 minutes. If it crashed while running a DOS booted disk, it's a hardware problem. You never did run the MemTest?When windows was still running, I posted that I tried the memcheck test, but it wouldn't work. I just tried it again now.

It's unresponsive to any keys I press after that. I left the memtest the way it was ("ready") and the PC crashed after about 3 hours. A shot in the dark, but try downloading a new ISO and burning it again. If there was an error in the first download, it may have burnt incorrectly causing it not to load. Alternatively, you could test your current disk on another computer and see if it loads correctly, ruling out a problem with the disk.I had already made and tried another disk and got the same problem. Haven't tried a third, or an alternative program??
