Hi, noticed your Post while looking for something else:-

Man this is just overkill to get silent hunter 1 working on windows xp.
Really, all you need to install is dosbox a meager 5MB program and then install SHI directly over it.
Job done, the game can run windowed or full screen at full speed.

Not so good with computers as a lot of you out their, Can you please tell me what you mean by "install SHI directly over it".

I have installed SH1 with dosbox 0.73 programme is running fine apart from everything telling me it's in fullscreen mode when it's running in the middle of the screen in a large black border. Have beem trying to get this running for some weeks now. Also awaiting arrival of SHCE from the USA and hoping not to have same problem. Any help please.

Thanks

Paul
