I have a serious problem. Sometimes I want to run a Dos game directly from windows. When the game enters fullscreen the game locks. I don't know when this problem started but I know for sure that it haven't been there always. Is there anyone else that had the same problem? I have:

Windows 2000 SP 4
Motherboard: ASROCK K7S8X
Graphic card: Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO (tested with Creative Geforce 3 TI too)

Somebody please help me!!! :help:

This is your problem. Windows 2000 doesn't have (fully operational) DOS.

Try installing DOSBox:

Thanks for replying but this does not solve my problem. I know Win 2000 have bad dos support so I already run DosBox for most of my games. But some games runs a little bit slow in Dosbox and then I want to use VDMSound instead. BTW, the games worked a couple of weeks ago but suddenly no dosgame seem to work. This is not the common "Windows bad dos support" problem. I think some porgram cause it.

I solved my problem. If anybody else have this problem I recommend you to check out the VOGONS Forum http://vogons.zetafleet.com/ They had lots of information about this and other problems concerning dos,dosbox and vdmsound.
