I have two problems, really:1) I cannot get the system to use the UMA. Laner (or anyone else wise in the ways of Virtual PC): looking for a little help setting up a DOS machine to run Crusader under Virtual PC.Have downloaded the VPC 5.2 trial from Microsoft, and have installed and configured a DOS 6.22 box. DOS 6.22 images are around on the internet for download whether they're supposed to be or not is whatever - View image here: -FWIW, I've run and beaten the entire game with 0 errors using VPC. I don't know if VMWare will work, but don't bother with Windows 98. (IMO, _my_ benchmark for a true DOS emulator is when it handles Zone 66, so none of them are worth it just yet - View image here: -)Also, the "Boot to MSDOS" option from Win9x won't work it's not really DOS 6.22, (as evidenced by it saying DOS 7, I think) and it loads crap you don't want or need meaning Crusader's likely to not work.So basically:(VPC or real) DOS or bust. None of the DOS emulators or emulation aids - DosBOX, VDMSound, what have you - can handle the full protected mode Crusader uses. It runs in Protected DOS mode and requires a shitton of resources your only options are an old DOS box (which is, uh, tempermental in its own right) and/or Connectix (now Microsoft, I suppose) Virtual PC, version 5.1 or higher.
