DOS Game

keki_tech · 03-17-2007, 01:56 PM

I have an old PC game - Championship Manager 1997.
Its a MS-DOS Based game and it can be played without a CD. I have been playing this game on my XP PC for quite a long time. However I have updated my PC lately with some Microsoft XP updates, and now I cannot launch this game. When I click on its start icon it does not launch as usual. Any idea what to do.
thanks

DOSBox is great for anything like that.
I'm yet to have a problem with it.... So long as you know DOS commands, you should be okay.
