Hmmmmm, I have an issue getting the games loading. If I click the shortcuts that were put in when I install the game, I get the Dosbox start, but it freezes after that. But if I go through the Graphics Options, they load just fine. Is anyone else having this issue and does anyone know how to fix this? It's not a huge problem, but it is a bit of an inconvenience.

Hey. I've just tried these games for the first time and found exactly this.

When you say, "go through the Graphics Options, they load just fine" what do you mean? (I'd like to play it.)

(Edit: PS. It appears to go to DOSbox, mount C and then CTD.)

Edit again: I think I solved it. I changed the shortcut's compatibility to Win Service Pack 2 (instead of 3) and it seems fine now.

I also found that just running the game as admin solves the problem completely.
