Hi,

Firstly, hello to everyone as this is my first post smile

Now to my problem. I had the urge the other day to play Championship Manager 2, I popped the disk in, ran the install and then noting would happen once the files were installed. Have tried chaning the compatability to Win 95 in properties but still just a black screen then back to Windows. Have called Eidos and they recommended this site or downloading a DOS emulator.

Is there any easier way to be able to run this through XP or is it an emulator or no game frown

Thanks.

Greetings and welcome.

Championship Manager 2 aka Championship Manager 00/01.

A18. If you only have NTFS partitions on your hard drive, then create a small FAT32 partition, insert a Windows 98SE bootdisk and load the game up from there. Also required are DOS mouse drivers (you may have a problem if you have a USB mouse), which will have to be loaded up each time you wish to play
unless you amend the autoexec.bat file. Failing that, the trickier option is to install and configure a DOS emulator.

I recommend Dosbox for DOS emulator.
Also download D-Fend for easier configuration for your DOS games.
