I am not familiar with "Afraid of the Dark". However I have a lot of old DOS games,
some of which run in Windows 98 without any special effort and some don't. One
of these was "Reader Rabbit 2", and I just found a way to run it.
I assume you know how to make a desk top icon either by dragging the exe file from
Windows explorer to the desk top, or by right clicking in a space on the desk top,
selecting "New", "Short cut" giving the file location, naming the file, picking an
icon if necessary, etc.
Once you have the icon on the desk top, right click on it. Select properties. Select
the "program" tab, then "advanced". Then check MS DOS. You can uncheck the "warn
me" button, since this is just an annoyance.
Let me know if this works. If it does, maybe you can send me a copy of "Afraid of
the Dark" as a zipped attachment.
I have a lot of old DOS games, most of which work in Windows 98 and, if interested,
I could possibly send them to you as attachments.
Do you have Reader Rabbit 1 and 2, Word Rescue, and AMY? What age range children
do you have?
