Hiya, Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to do this right under Windows XP. Access to DOS games under that operating system seems to be a hit and miss sort of problem, where you'll miss far more often than you'll hit. It's a little annoying, but an unfortunate side effect of using XP. I used to have 98, and that was far better in terms of what I could access. Sorry to disappoint, Zack.
