There is a simple solution but if you will like it? Just slow your pc down in you bios settings......... (cpu/mem waitstates/no bios caching/.......etc...) B) just think about it:moslo should run in dosmodus: Mo'Slo Deluxe v.2.1 Copyright (c) David Perrell 1990,1993,1996,1997. Format is: MOSLO /n fi...

On win 98 SE you can run 80% of the dos games with no problem at all.
Just look at the shortcut,if there isn't one create one, and edit the param's regarding mem properties.

win 98 se is prob the best windows for dos games.
