Running the older M&M games
Starlady, do yourself a favor and download DOSBox at the following location - http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
The program comes with a readme file, but if you or any others have questions in regards to running the DOSBox commands then please post a reply.

It has been a while since I used DosBox, but here's a link to their FAQ which may assist you with the Xeen games: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/inde ... b13ceec085
I do also recall that you have to use the mount command in order to 'map' the drive where Xeen was located. So if Xeen was located in C:\Xeen, I believe typing in mount c: c:\xeen would 'map' the drive in DosBox. Once you typed in c:, you should be in the directory where Xeen is located. I apologize if this sounds very complicated, but think of 'mount' as being the same as mapping a network drive in Windows.

Starlady, to answer your questions I'd go to a manufacturer site to see if they have any updates for the internal graphics driver. For the mount command, you have to have DosBox running if I recall correctly. I just reinstalled an old version of DosBox. You have to run the .exe file after installing. It will pop up two windows. One is the command prompt window you need to run the mount command. I just verified the mount command works as I remembered. Just type in mount [drive letter] [drive path]. For example: Mount d d:\xeen would 'map' your drive. Once you type in d:, you're already at the Xeen directory. All you have to do is to run xeen.exe, and you should be able to get the older Xeen to run. For MM3 and older games, just run the appropriate .exe file. If you still have problems following this, please let me know in a reply.
