once loaded, you can install it to the drive you want. or hover over the windows logo bottom left, right click and click Open Windows Explorer, and click to your CD drive, then click on the install file. should work. If not, go into dosbox (windows one) and try that. once installed, run the Program wrapper DOSBox, it handles DOS games really well, and especially ones that use that EMM386 crap. )

Dosbox is great, but it'll only work on the 8-bit DOS games. It won't help with Icewind Dale or ToB.

johnny, you could also try using a virtual Windows XP machine.

Or for an easy solution, if you don't mind spending the few bucks, buy them digitally from gog.com or steam. They come pre-packaged for newer OSs. And you can get them really cheap off sales sometimes.
