I am trying to play some old games on my computer, but because I have a good graphics card (NVidia 5900) I get a message saying: "VGA Card not Supported!". What should I do?

Thanks!

What games are you trying to play?

Well, because you cant buy them anymore I downloaded them from Home of the Underdogs and they are:

Discworld 2
Gender wars

The problem is that you need to run something like a Virtual Machine, in this case a DOS box.

You want to use something like the products from VMware or from Microsoft Virtual PC.

There are a number of free VM's out there too, DOSbox comes to mind over at Sourceforge.

I personally use a couple of older Pentium's for this kind of thing that are setup with nothing more then DOS6.22/WFW3.11

jmmijo mentions some good emulation packages, but you'll probably have better luck with VDMSound.

If not, try asking at the VOGONS forums.
