Hi, I just got windows a few weeks ago with my new computer (it came free with the package from the Zeos people) and since I have a 386SX I can multitask non-windows applications using Windows 3.0. I have found, however that some programs will not be accepted as non-windows applications. First of all, I am simply making a mistake by using the disk-search application in Windows to find these programs, or do I need to recopy them to the Windows directory to get them to work as a non-windows application, or is there some Windows command I can use. (I would personally enjoy having F15 Strike Eagle as something just playing in the background. I would especially like to be able to multitask between other programs and the fractal generator I picked up recently. Basically, pretty pictures in the background. Hey, for what I spent on this machine, I have a right to enjoy every aspect of it.) Barring this--i.e., some programs just won't run as a Window--what recommendations do people have for programs that can be used in Windows as a Non-Windows Application?
