BSOD = Blue Screen of Death. To tell what version you're running, right-click on the "My Computer" icon, and then select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. It should say somewhere on there what you're running. And, for clarification, it'll be called Service Pack 1, or 2, depending on which you have. If it doesn't say either one, then DEFINATLY get at least Service Pack 1, since it that would imply that you wouldn't have either installed. It's quite important, actually.
If you have service pack 2 installed, then search these forums for "frog." Specifically, you're looking for some ASPI drivers, and I've seen them refered to as the Frog ASPI drivers. If you install that, then you might be able to play the games without installing Daemon Tools. Personally, I suggest you try DT first, if you don't have SP2 installed. If you do have SP2 installed, then either risk it, and install DT 3.29 (not always a good option, for some people), or install the Frog ASPI drivers. Good luck getting that sorted out. Mouser X over and out.
