playing Old Dos Games on XP computer

[Dos Boot]

Can it be done? I want to install and play Wolfenstein 3D on my Windows
XP computer, but the compatiblility utility only goes retro to win 95 and
nothing I do can bring up the program. Any ideas to try besides installing
old DOS operating system This game is on two floppy discs.

Yeah, sure... try DOSBoxhttp://www.computerforum.com/www.dosbox.com/. Should do the trick.

Try dosbox, I've even installed win 3.1 in dosbox. http://www.dosbox.com/ It's pretty straightforward to use, and I haven't had any major problems with it.

Edit: Beat me to it

Thank you for the quick replies-I'll try that. I got a bunch of
these games on floppys from fleabay and they never got reissued
or updated to newer operating systems that i know of. Thanks again. John
