recently i found pagan ultima 8 in some random cds, and i remmember lplayin this on my old computer, ans since then i have got a new computer, and i was wondering if there is a way to make this old game work on my new computer, without dos..?
what does partition mean?
How easy be it to partition the hard drive?
You should have partitioned the drive.
Yesyes.
Yesyes.
just an idea, but a lot of old games used EMS (Expanded Memory Spec), to allow them to work. Unfortunately new operating systems have done away with it, so you may have to make a boot disk.
Try finding some sites dedicated to these older games and read all the forums/help sections, and I'm sure someone will help you.
I had to do this when I tried to get frontier elite to work.
Of course, it might not be that at all, but its worth a thought

Right click on the application, go to properties, then compatibility.

XP presumably you have? Try putting it in Win98 compatibility mode.
