| Hmmm.... I'm at a little loss here, mainly because I don't have XP myself to test this on (running win2k currently) and have no dos games installed.
What it sounds like to me, is that because you run a batch file (your koei.bat) XP will execute that program and finsh it, thus closing the window.
It seems that XP aren't running the program that koei.bat starts up.
This is just a feeling I have based on some programming experience.
Try opening the koei.bat file and take a look at what program it calls in that bat file (proberly some .exe or something) and create a shortcut to that file.
Example:
Supposed that the koei.bat file contained a line that called koei.exe with a number of switches like koei.exe/w/2 or something (just an example).
Try creating a shortcut to the koei.exe file and see if it will run - you can call it with the switches also by typing them in the shortcut menu (batch files are just there to make you type less).
Try that and see what it does - if you don't understand what I mean, try opening the batch file in a text editor and paste the content here.
Hope this helps a little |
