"Not Supported"
This is a discussion about "Not Supported" in the Windows Games category; 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!.

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.
