im trying to get this awsome game to work.. its really old. battle criuser 3000k 2. Yah id get battlecruiser melenuim gold but i cant find a free download for it. so any way it wont work in xp.. here is the fix

I know ho to get it to work on XP!!!
I found out!
Here it is:

1)Right click on any blank portion of your desktop
2)In the menu Click "New"
3)Now click "Shortcut"
4)Click "browse" and scroll through your root directory. Select the "Windows" folder and double click on the file labeled "DOSPROMPT"
5)Click "Next" and then "Finish"
6)You should now have a icon labeled "MS-DOS prompt".
7)Right click on your MS-DOS Prompt icom and click on "properties"
8)Click on the "program" ta and then click the icon that says "advanced"
9)Click on the Check box that says "Prevent MS-DOS based programs from detecting Windows."
10)There will be a second box that has a check in it. Leave the check mark in the box
11)Click "OK"
12)Click the Tab labeled "Screen" Click the option "Full screen" and then click "OK"
13)Click "OK"
14)Double click the icon labeled "MS-DOS Prompt"
and type in The full directory of the battlecruiser file. Dont forget to add the filename in the directory.
15)Press ENTER

only prombel is that i cant find the DOSPROMT anywhere. i infact cant find anything like it. i dound cmd - command line.. but it doesnt have the options to be undetectable.. hmmm this is harsh.. or post a bittorent link for BCMG...

Command Prompt is what they mean I think. Should be in "Accesories".

Personally I think it would be easier just to use DOSBox:

In Win2k & WinXP, "cmd.exe" IS what allows you to open a DOS prompt. So what's the problem? :confused:

it says to go to the program tabs in propertys and set it to "do not allow dos to detect windows"

cmd doesnt have this particular option..

I'm pretty sure that the instructions you posted are for Windows 95/98/Me, not Windows 2000/XP, which would explain why you couldn't find DOSPROMPT and the "Prevent MS-DOS based programs from detecting Windows" option.

Give DOSBox a try and see what happens. :)
