Hey Glenn! Thanks so much for your perfect guides!...

Hey Glenn!
Thanks so much for your perfect guides! I did have to figure out that since my computer has users that I needed to mount the C: drive by typing in users/student/etc.
I do have a question about playing other games. I downloaded Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and have been playing. Now I want to download Oregon Trail. Do I need to install another dosbox? Or use the same one? Maybe a guide for that help...or maybe you already have it and I can't find it. thanks!!

2011-12-27T07:59:43.247-05:00

I cannot open my Wordstar 7 (dos) in full-screen mode even using alt ent. I think this might be because the WS application itself is set up for window mode, or else my earlier Vista ruined it by forcibly changing it to window mode. I have windows 7 64bit. On earlier versions of Windows I could open the ws.exe file and change it to full-screen, but that can't be done with Windows 7. I'm not very computer literate so I hope someone could guide me. I know this software is obsolete these days, but I have thousands of files on it and need to refer to them from time to time. I tried converting them to word but they lose some of the data that is required during conversion, such as the comments on the pages. Anybody out there who is a wiz with dos, please help. Thanks in advance.

How can I get fullscreen on a Mac? I'm new to using Macs, so simple & easy directions would be preferred.

I also can't find the dosbox.config file, by the way.

Hey. When i enter dosbox and then hit the ALT+Enter to get in full screen, the color turns to purple, and it should not be that way..

Hiya! It's me Ashlee again.

First off, thanks for letting me know about the Ctrl F10 solution. It's so much easier and faster to get my mouse back!

But I have another question: you said 'its most likely those sound files weren't included with the rest of the files from Abandonia to save on the size of the download file.' and I just wanted to know if there was a way I could add the sound? I never appreciated how helpful and actually fun hearing the sound is.

Hi Glenn, Loving your work. Could you possibly help me fix a problem I have with DOSbox and SCUMMvm? Both used to run on glorious full screen with no problems but now when I toggle to full screen, the image stays the same size and crystal clear, but the rest of my screen is a garbled mess. I've tried adjusting the resolution, but maybe I've missed something? It worked fine for hours and then I came back to it later and it was ruined. I've not installed or changed anything in between. Literally turned it off and back on. Thanks in advance!

2011-01-28T22:44:42.953-05:00

I’m trying to run Where in America’s Past is Carmen Sandiego. I downloaded the installer file for the DOSBox, and I entered C:\Games\CarmenPast, but I wasn’t able to get the folder “CarmenPast” to appear. Is this folder hidden somewhere on my desktop? Can you help me?

I noticed that music does play when I run the application C:\Games\CARMEN 1\WIAP\RUNME.EXE. Is this the actual game? Or is the game in the folder “CarmenPast?” Please let me know.

2010-11-24T23:58:53.938-05:00

I've done everything exactly as the instructions say. And have figured out about three to four of my own confusions..but I have this one, evil, last one that I can't figure out. When I click the DOSBox 0.72 program-the only one with the pretty icon-I just get the DOSBox 0.72 black, blank program opposed to the Wasteland game. I have the directions under the [autoexec] thing for the game to be used, and I downloaded the files and extracted them properly...so I don't know what I did wrong. Would it have anything to do with the fact that the files are not ONLY where I extracted them, but also on my desktop-and maybe elsewhere too? Or is it something else?

Hi,

I followed the instructions and I'm now running PGA Tour Golf without any issues.

So thank you very much.

I have a simple question though..

How can I get the original Golf-ing sound on the game?..I mean the the sound of the swing and the sound of the ball bouncing off the green etc..

At the moment I can only hear beep sounds when the ball bounces..

I would appreciate your help

Thanks in advance..

Hi Glenn,
This is a truly wonderful thing you have done! Thank you so much. I have a question: I cannot seem to get past the character choice part at the very start of Lands of Lore. i chose my character, and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. It's most distressing.
All the best and thanks again,
FW.
