I recently re-installed an old adventure game called "The Feeble files" by adventure soft, on my win xp computer, however it just shows a black screen when it starts, Scummvm, and the windows compatability program don't work, and i can't get it to work with dosbox.
please help me.

I have tried in vain to play the game on XP myself.

I was told to buy virtual pc and install win 98, but I don't fucking have it, and i don't know where to find it.
Could it be made to run on linux? I was planning to build a new pc with linspire inside..

It's a native Win95/98 game according to the developer, and it won't run on anything else, so you're screwed.

Your best option would be to install Win98 on that new computer, or to get VirtualPC/VMWare (I prefer the latter) and make a virtual Win98 PC.

$199, $10 off if you download.

And yes, it can handle virtually every PC operating system (DOS in most flavours, all Windows up to XP/2003, Linux)

You'll need the original 98 CD, though.
