Background
Most games on the market have been designed
for only MS-DOS. SB Live! supports
MS-DOS games. There are two ways to play
MS-DOS games:
❑
From the MS-DOS box in Windows
95/98
This is the recommended method.
To open the box:
•
Click the Start button on the taskbar of
Windows 95/98, point to Programs,
and then click MS-DOS Prompt.
❑
In the Windows 95/98 MS-DOS mode
There could be times when you do not
want to or cannot run a game from the
MS-DOS box. The game may be
incompatible with Windows 95/98, or
there is insufficient system resources to
play the game with Windows 95/98
loaded. In such cases, use the MS-DOS
mode, in which only the real-mode
portions of Windows 95/98 are loaded.
To restart the system in MS-DOS mode
when you are already in Windows
95/98:
1. Click the Start button on the taskbar,
and then click Shutdown.
2. Click the Restart The Computer In
MS-DOS Mode option button, and
then click the OK button.
To start the system in MS-DOS mode at
system startup:
1. At startup as Windows 95/98 is
loading, hold the F8 key.
2. At the startup menu, choose the
Command Prompt Only option, and
then press <Enter>.
Understanding the
Installation Program in
Windows 95/98

AUTOEXEC.BAT
and

files.
