Hi again. I have a severe prob with some of the old games.

1. MUDS: Says on the board that it is compatible with DOSBox, but i get a "DIVIDE ERROR" when starting the Game. I tried with and without sound, EMS/ XMS on/off.
Won't Run. (the error MSG comes from the game, not from DOSBox).

2. THE HORDE: Just won't start, whatever I do and tweak.

3. Privateer: I tried the already mentioned EMS off and everything of the above, without effect (DOSBox crashs)

4. UFO 1+2: DOSBox just crashes, like above, whatever I do.

And several others I forgot right now. (quite many!)

I have to say that I'm not a DOS-Newb (or Noob, for that matter), and that the biggest part of my old games run pretty well. Also, I have downloaded all the above mentioned Games here on Abandonia.

THX for any help you might post.

Addition: I run WindosME on a 600MHZ Pentium III. (If that matters for my probs)

oooops! I just recognized that i MAY have an out-of-date version of DOSBox...
I leave this post here, though, in case some of the probs aren't solved with the new version i just downloaded...
1) M.U.D.S.: check HERE. The game should work with DosBox 0.60 and don't give a divide error.

2) The Horde: check HERE. It says that the game crashes when Sound Balster is enabled.

3) Privateer and UFO 1&2: check on the site. There are solutions to many problems.

Hope this helps.
