Background
Legacy games in the market have been designed for only MS-DOS. SB Live! supports MS-DOS
games. There are two ways to play MS-DOS games:
❑
From the MS-DOS box in Windows 95/98/ME (recommended)
To open the box:
• Click
Start
->
Programs
->
MS-DOS Prompt
.
❑
In the Windows 95/98 MS-DOS mode
There may be times when you do not want to or cannot run a game from the MS-DOS box.
The game may be incompatible with Windows 95/98, or there are insufficient system
resources to play the game with Windows 95/98 loaded. In such cases, use the MS-DOS
mode, in which only the real-mode portions of Windows 95/98 are loaded.
To restart the system in MS-DOS mode when you are already in Windows 95/98:
1. Click
Start
->
Shut Down
.
2. Click the
Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode
option button, and then click the
OK
button.
To start the system in MS-DOS mode at system startup:
1. At startup as Windows 95/98 is loading, hold the F8 key.
2. At the startup menu, choose the Command Prompt Only option, and then press <Enter>.
