Hi

I'm trying to get an old DOS game to work on Virtual PC set up in DOS.
This particular game (Rebel chess) ran under windows 98 DOS, so I went
to work, fdisk/formatting virtual image, copyed boot files/directorie(s)
etc..

When I run Virtual PC as a guest on a PII350Mhz running Windows 2000 pro
(as the host) it works fine, but when i run the same way on a Windows XP
machine and/or same roughy same hardware specs it doesn't even run..
freezes with "Calculating machine speed" massege.

I know Rebel have released a version specific for XP. So do you think
that running this as a guest on a XP OS is too new ?

Just a thought...

Regards
