ScoobyWon't

I've just found my Settlers 3 cd's knocking around in the cupboard and thought it'd be fun to have a quick game, however, after installing it, Vista refuses to load it. I'm guessing this is as it's such an old game and designed for a DOS based O/S.

Is there anyway to make this game work on my Vista driven machine?

It is doable, you will need either an emulator or run a virtual pc inside Vista.

I would do the latter, download Virtual PC here..

Windows Virtual PC: Home Page

and Dos here..

Download details: MS-DOS 6.2 Step-up Files

Both free.

Use DOSBox (google it). Takes a couple of minutes to set up. I've used it for the old police quest and space quest series.
