csm v10 sim

[firebucket]

Hello I hope you can help.
I've been using csm v.10 flight sim for ages on a windows 98 pc, I've just
got a nice new pc with xp trouble is I cant install the csm flight sim, i
keep getting some error message, is anyone using csm v10 with xp, and how
did you do it ?? or does anyone know csms web address so I can ry looking
for a patch or something.
Thanks in advance

For Windows 2000 (and it should be much the same for XP) I boot
into DOS .....

What I did was make a bootable CD ROM from www.freeDOS.org and
change the BIOS to look for and boot from a CD ROM first. That
gets you booted into DOS, which CSM is happy with. (XP is totally
ignored by doing this)

I can then look on the hard drive and find the files in a
directory that I have made with the CSM simulator in it and run
aero10.exe or whatever.

You may also need to load a DOS mousedriver to get your rodent
active in DOS mode .....

There probably is an easier way but this works for me. The basic
problem I had was having enough memory in DOS mode (550 k plus) to
allow the sim to run.

(PS - Windows 95 and 98 have DOS lurking in the background, W2000
and XP do not have this - I understand this the cause of the
grief - but I could be wrong !)

(PPS - otherwise you can install a dual boot system ..... W98 and
XP .....)
