I have two games here, one publishing several years prior the other, but here is the problem, smooth gameplay. I can run this one:
256 RAM Pentium 3 900 MHz 32mb graphics card 750 harddrive but cannot get this one to run properly: 32 RAM Pentium 200 Mhz 16-bit graphics The one in question is Myth II. I loved this game when there was nothing else to do, but now it won't run smoothly on my new PC. Can someone provide a solution? My specs are: Pentium 4 1.5 GHz 256 RAM 60gb harddrive 32mb graphics card (nVIDIA) |

Is it possible that your computor could be too powerful for the game to handle?

Well if it's DOS based gaming on XP you're after, I think you'll find that you're going to be SOL. Windows XP doesn't natively support DOS. I think that there may be some emulaters out there somewhere, or you could track down a 98 or ME boot disk and try booting to an A: prompt and see what happens. Only problem with that is if you're running NTFS, your hard drive will be invisible.

You have a huge HDD so your solution is easy. Partition it. You can then run 2 operating systems (XP on one partition, earlier version on the other) and boot up to whichever one you like.
Er... not a technical whizz, so don't ask me how to do it, but I'm sure someone here will be able to tell you if you're interested. I know my dad has several operating systems on his PC thanks to a partitioned HDD - Win98, WinXP, and Linux, when he turns his PC on it displays a menu of the different OS options and he selects the one he wants. Used a tool called 'Partition Magic' to assist in setting it all up. EDITED to add that you can't do that if your HDD is NTFS because an earlier OS won't work with that.
