Status : Online		I just bought a new computer with XP and I can't get my old games to run. I want to play Riddle Of Master Lu again, and some other golden oldies. I had Win95 the last time I played this game.

After several days of searches and lurking about on various sites, I came to the conclusion that loading DOSBox may be my best bet. But when I got to the site, I realized I don't even know what a mirror is in the context used, so I couldn't make a choice.

I used to be somewhat computer savvy but I haven't played games or done much for about four years and now I find myself back in kindergarten. It's humbling and frustrating and exhausting all over again.  [smiley=hair_pull.gif]

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Status : Online		The 'Mirror' is just the location from which you download the program. The program itself should be exactly the same no matter what 'mirror' you choose.

I tried DOSbox myself some weeks ago, I also donwloaded Dfend as a front end. Loaded up Willie Beamish and it worked very well...
