Hey...I followe everything you told me about to download and play carmen san diego...but when i came to the end and tried to double click on the dosbox program in the folder it told me that it was unable to change to :witics
Hi Mohammed, it sounds like Dosbox is trying to find the witics folder within the games\carmentime folder and it's not there. I would try installing the game zip file again and make sure it's installed in c:\games\carmentime . You may have installed it in the wrong folder by accident. Let me know if this helps.
Best,
Glenn
