OK I may be able to help. Since the game plays in DOS and I am the #1 expert there follow my advice. First do a search for sci tech display doctor in your favorite search engine. Sci tech will completely integrate into win 95 and is SHAREWARE so it only lasts 30days without paying. Second, update your direct x to 8.1 from microsoft. Third since you can make partitions with 95 put the program if it is not a CD into D: That version of windows may not be smart enough to recognize an H: drive to run a CD It may be expecting it as a D: and lastly the game may simply only work in win 95 as a Dos run game. It was very blurry so I could not see if it said win 95 or win 98 at acclaims web site. If it is a DOS run game follow DOS protocol and keep the name under 8 characters long of the exe file.

Since you are running a NT kernel machine (I run XP) to get DOS games to work I simply place them in the root directory for me it is C drive and into folders there. The program names to work must be under 8 characters long. So Duke Nukem would work as Duke3D etc... Then into the folders I copy into each one cmd (dos prompt) from windows system32 file. I also did the univbe ordeal by doing a search for sci tech display doctor. The program completely incorporates into win 95 but for NT kernel systems only the DOS commands are available. Using the program it writes updated univbe and vesa drivers. To do this go to univbe.exe and it will check your system and update vesa and univbe drivers as necessary. Copy univbe device driver just made into the game folder. You may also need a DOS4GW as well since it is like virtual DOS Also run the game in 640x480 resolution If it is XP were talking about due to the fact you are only using dos commands you won't need to register the program for it to still work.
