在现代pc上玩dos游戏

Dear How-To Geek:

I found some of my old DOS games in my parents’ basement over Thanksgiving. Most of them were on 3.5” disks so I didn’t have any trouble copying them over to my computer with an old 3.5” USB drive I had laying around. I’m having trouble playing them though and running into all sorts of issues such as: the games won’t load, if they load they play too fast, and other odd quirks. Surely there has to be some way to play old DOS games on a modern machine? Please tell me I don’t have to actually boot into DOS?

为windows计算机设置智能关机例程

Dear How-To Geek:

I always forget to shut my computer down at the end of the day. Not only do I feel bad about kicking the environment in the nuts by wasting electricity, I also pay higher electric bills because my quad-core system and all the accompanying hardware is just chugging along all night. I don’t want to schedule a shut down at a fixed time because then it might shut off when I’m actually getting work done? What can I do?
