Computer speed and NTFS partitions may or may not still be an issue, but running in a DOS mode will probably help. Once set up correctly the game should run fairly well. Installing Daggerfall (or Arena) under it is a simple process you merely need your original copy of DOS 6.3 or Windows 95 (which also includes DOS 6.3). Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 is now a free download to promote the upcoming 2007 edition. Considering all these facts, it is highly advised to use DOSBox when running Daggerfall under a modern Windows-OS. In addition to the problems with the quest object strafe, backwards moves, climbing, swimming and jumping are almost impossible to perform. Always keep that in mind because, if you embark on the Main Quest or a quest line, you will have serious troubles. Once the quest is active, switching to DosBox or similar applications doesn't solve this problem, since the quest data is already stored in your savegame, you have to start the quest from the scratch. This issue causes the quest object to be invisible, hence it will be nearly impossible to find or kill a quest object, since it can not be seen. There is a serious memory issue when running Daggerfall under a modern Windows-OS such as Windows-XP.
