Any way to run Wolf3d in Vista?

I've had the original Wolfenstein 3d for quite some time and recently noticed
that it will not run now that I have upgraded to Vista. Is this normal
operation or is there something I can change to get the program to work?

i don't think so because I believe Wolfenstein was a 16 bit game. I could be totally wrong tho...

Give DOSBox a try. http://www.dosbox.com/

Can confirm that Wolf 3d is working fine here on Vista x64 using the above.

Yes, it works perfectly in all versions of Vista and all windows operating systems if you use the DOSBox. The problem is, that most people do not understand how to run Wolfenstein 3d and the DOSBox on Vista. The only site that I have ever found, and it took a lot of finding!!! that really explains this well is Bulletsoftware.com for PC Games and Software the exact link is Shooters, Shooter PC Games at Bulletsoftware.com

Having read the page at Bulletsoftware.com, to my amazement, I got wolfenstein 3d running on Vista and I can see that you could run many DOS games in the same way. But without the valuable information on that site, I could never have done it.

So, yes, wolfenstein 3d runs perfectly on Vista. Thank you DOSBox at DOSBox, a x86 emulator with DOS and thank you Shooters, Shooter PC Games at Bulletsoftware.com for explaining how to run wolfenstein 3d on Vista and on the DOSBox.

I thought I'd post this because there are so many wrong answers out there and it took me so long to find the right ones. Hope this helps!
