Well, there is a solution. Unfortunately, it involves using a seperate program called dos box. The nice thing is that dos-box can be configured to run in the background. I had issues with master of orion, but now it works just fine. The program is dos-box 0.63 I think. This is what my master of orion shortcut looks like "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.63\dosbox.exe" -conf "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.63\dosbox.conf" c:\games\moo\orion.exe -exit when I click on the master of orion, dos-box loads the dame and everything works fine. There is also a help file included in the program that includes a list of all dos-box's command line switches Good luck
