Howdy Folks!

The problem is that I cannot even install the game. When I load the CD and start the install .bat file, an error message says the 16bit installer is not compatible with the 64bit version and can go no further. I even tried using DosBox to install it but no joy as you get "Cannot detect the CD" error message.

From what I have gleaned from some searches, the 16bit installer is not compatible with 64bit Win 10. I have spent the past hour looking at posts from various searches and the best I could come up with is you have to install a dual boot system on your computer with a second, 32bit OS to install the game. Apparently, MS abandoned all 16bit support due to safety concerns.

I am hoping we have some folks here that are more computer savvy than I that can come up with a simpler solution.
