| glennscrima | I changed the header to XP only. I think I might pick up a Mac Mini and run Vista and OS X together with boot camp that way I can write variation of those guides for those OS's | ||

| glennscrima | How do you figure that, each game is in a separate folder with its own copy of dosbox within that folder. | ||

Of course it works, for one single game. I have about approx 120 dosgames on my HD for the moment, -(yeah yeah must clean up, I know ...nag nag nag...)-, your system won't work. As soon as you install more than one game you're screwed I'm affraid. And I think you can safely assume that most dosgames lovers have more than one game installed..... But for one single game, yes, indeed, it works fine. |

http://abandonia.com/en/forum That is correct for XP, I've run dozens of games with that method without a problem and get happy responses from visitors all the time who got their game working after following my steps correctly. I don't run Vista so thanks for letting me know the file system and access is different. Most people still use XP however so that must be why most don't have a problem. |

That's pretty nice, glennscrima, but... For discworld you write: Quote:

What you think? You hardly can find that OK. Take a look@ http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=14406 You'll find a better solution there. (A folder to use and mount as C, install the games in a subdirectory and CD to it from the prompt). And yes, you will need to update it for Vista I'm affraid, as more users are on a 'standard' account there, or even a restricted one, they can't write directly to C:, the simpliest solution is to let them work in their own \users\your_name\folder\. Mount that as C, avoids a lot of problems in Vista. But it's really a nice list of howtos you made there. Must been a lot of work.

I have an install guide on my blog that might help. Its one of my first guides so I might need to update it for Vista but works perfectly on XP. http://videogamesoapbox.blogspot.com...all-guide.html |

What was the solution, then? Someone else might come around with the same problem later, and it would be much easier to direct him to your answer.
