Beginners Guide to Running DOS Games/Applications on Windows XP/2000

[Gabriela]

Hi,
I got some games which require CD to run and they are working fine on XP.
But at the same time when I try to run them on Win 7 they dont work.
What could be the problem behind it?

Browse the cd, R-click the start and select properties
Select compatabiliy tab
Select XP SP3 in the dropdown.
Save/OK out
Should run fine.

I like play games and want to recorder it ,but I tried like 5 different softwares but I had many issues such as the game is recorded in the corner of the video, the video is so blurry, and constant skipping on the playback of the video because the software cant record fast enough to keep up with the game. SO whats a good software that I can use to record my game without all those laggy **** recording problems?
