I recently bought a used copy of Black Dahlia for PC.
I knew the problems before i got it and have an older system in storage that will run the game without the mouse lag or other problems,
However rather then making a mess i thought i would ask if anyone here knows how to run this on a Vista Based system.
Is it possible to install another operating system with vista such as windows 95 (Still have all the floppy's). and would that fix the problem or would there be other programs i could use.
Also if i do need to use an older system for these older games which i tend to like. Is it possible to have both towers hooked up and switch between them using the same monitor keyboard & mouse without turning one off and plugging everything into the other.
Thanks

I'm New to this place as a member but have used it before finding information, So if this is in the wrong forum i will apologize in advance.

That's Very Helpful actually.
Thanks, i think i would rather do that anyhow instead installing a different OS or using software to slow down my computer. I will look in to getting those and see how it goes.
