I was given a CD of War, Inc. by iMagic by my bro-in-law... and I
can't for the life of me get it to run on my Windows XP machine.  The
screen goes black, flashes once or twice, and then I'm back in
windows!
I've played around with all combinations in 'compatibility', to no
success.  I've created a DOS bootdisk, and it *starts*, but tends to
hang up before I can get going into a game (looks like it 'looses' the
CD drive).

Anyone help?
