"Hi I noticed a few methods here for getting fragile to work. Renaming 'logo.exe' worked well for me but I found a better way that lets you rename in-game items, run near-perfect sound and save your game without fear of crashing.
If you download DOSbox from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ and insall it then you can run fragile in this using the following instructions:
1. Click the windows 'Start' button and then 'Run'
2. Type 'cmd' and click 'ok'
3. Navigate to the folder where you installed dos box by using the 'cd' command (if youre not sure about this then look up 'cd' or 'change directory' dos commands)
4. Type 'dosbox.exe' or 'dosbox.exe -fullscreen' NOTE: the second command will run dos box in fullscreen mode so you wont be able to read the rest of this step by step.
5. Type 'mount c C:\FRAGILE' where C:\FRAGILE is where you have the game installed
6. Type 'mount d D:\ -t cdrom' where D:\ is the drive letter of the cdrom drive that contains the fragile disk.
7. Type c:
8. Type fragile.exe
9. Have fun!
Alternatively you can type 'intro' and 'intro cdrom' in dosbox to learn what those crazy mount commands do, and another helpful tip is Ctrl+F12 when running dosbox steals more cpu cylces to run the game better. Hope this helps someone as this is a killer game!

"I've tried everything, ive tried all compitable modes - no go, I've tried ALL combinations you can do to emulate CD with Dosbox - no go. Fragile Allegiance can't find the CD."

"Using the DOS Box method works perfectly with sound and everything. It is a little jerky but no problem. Thanks so much"

"works fine for me. no compatibility modes needed under windows xp. but to get the sound running on my audigy 1 I need to run fragile.exe with vdmsound. anyway i installed the game on a fat32 partition just to be sure it doesnt get confused with ntfs. older games sometimes do. there are some minor problems with strange noise while playing sounds but nothing you can't handle."

"The DosBox and the remove/rename logo.com worked for me, but DosBox worked better, though it wouldn't work under the alt+tab [FullScreen]
It is a excellent game worthy of being packed in the same carton as Hardwar.
Also Gremlin went under or was bought out about the same time as Interplay in 2000 and something. "

"Plays on my XP system by re-naming (LOGO.EXE to MOOK.EXE) lol..
DOSBox works: Can't Go "Fullscreen", No Sound.
VDMSound 2.0.4: Game works with, but again with No Sound. (no conflicting drivers found).
This was a great game, too bad!!! The Sound Is Half The Experience. "

"Hey got an xps laptop, vista, and downloaded dosbox, cannot get into fragile as it says there isn't enough memory and required 16mb"
