Default Running TR1 On Virtual PC
Hi,

Since Microsoft now offer Virtual PC as a free download, I thought I'd give
it a go last night and see if there was any chance of getting TR1 working
again. I managed to install and run an old copy of Windows 98 OK, but when I
try to install TR1 I get a blank screen and a frozen virtual machne.

Anyone have any ideas how to get it installed. Any help would be
appreciated.

PS - Next step is to try and run MSDOS (if I can find the old install disks)
on a virtual disk and see if I have more success that way. Anyone tried
this?

There is also Vmware to run a virtual machine, its faster and free
also. You can try that.

Thanks for that - I'll give it a go.

PA - When I have time, just got Vista Beta and am experimenting with that.
