Play Fallout in Window mode at a better way

Post by howareyou32 »

I just found out that if we use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to install a new W98 then we can play fallout and other old doc games in Window mode. That mean we can go to internet, watch movies, and play game in the same time. ( I am doing it right now, and I just discovery it today.)

Ok here is the steps:
1. go here and download Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (VPC) and Windows 98 (W98) Second Edition

for W98 here is the keys:
HMTWJ-VPPWP-9BXP8-WD73Y-GGT6M
WHWGP-XDR8Y-GR9X3-863RP-67J2T
C4GMB - B23QQ - QPRCH - QX2C8 - 9CJVW

2. Install VPC and use that to install a new W98 in any where you have space (around 1 to 2 G).

3. Install FO and play it in W98. That is it.

(I still try to find a way to upload image in here, but no luck. I wish i know how to do it, so i can upload picture of how it look like.)

it is a lot better than D3DWindower. (a lot faster and stable.)

also, I have to warn you guys that there is a file call "VMNetSrv" running on the PC's background, once I block it then my internet connection will go dead right away. I still try to find out what the hell it really do.

anyway enjoy.
