I have posted this before in another forum...

Sample config.sys
Files=99
Device=C:\Windows\Himem.sys
Device=C:\Windows\Emm386.exe AUTO RAM (or was it RAM AUTO?)
Dos=high,umb

Sample autoexec.bat
@echo off
Set Path=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Command
LH (dos mouse driver)
LH (dos soundcard driver)

Press F8 during the initial Windows startup screen and select "Start with Command Prompt only". Once the boot up sequence is completed, execute the game and enjoy.

BTW, the above only applies to Win95 and Win98

I have came across a few programs which are able to slow down the CPU but if you are running these old games on P4, the CPU might even be too fast even after applying the slowdown program.

Most of them are not free but why pay for something which does not really work? If I am very serious into playing old games, I would invest a little bit of money to acquire an old PC, say something like 486DX4/100.
