It's also helpful to write legible english - I had enough trouble reading that, let alone anyone who doesn't speak english as their first language. I'm amazed anyone went to the trouble of helping you by posting things which are plastered all over the site, mainly in the DOSBox newbie's guide and just about every game discussion thread.

Summing up the previous post:

RTFM! (yay)

Nah, but if you have any more problems, you should REALY try and read the guides we have on this site, as they will answer MOST your questions in this matter.

You never poster if you had WinXP or Win9X.. that makes a hell of a difference when it comes to DOS-games, and how to get 'em goin'

huh wot u mean edit button, u takin da piss?
itz a zip file but it has a word symbol dat why i got confused

You need WinZip or WinRAR to decompress the file. After that just extract the files, and open game.exe in DOS (I'm pretty sure it won't work in Windows, but it may).

And no, I was not "Taking the piss," I was just advising you use the edit button above your post to avoid spamming and double posting, use the brilliant features that Invision Power Services so kindly supply.

First of all check out the coolest thing ever!
Introducing.... THE EDIT BUTTON!

What's the name of the file you're attempting to open?

I'm downloading constructor so I can help you more, just give my slow internet connection some time.

i hav a boot disk bt i dnt no wot 2 type in wen i start in dos

I answered that question and you seemed to have ignored me, why repeat your original post, to most people it seems like an extremely frustrating way of spamming and double posting. In future, be patient.

To answer your question a bit more simply, type this after doing my previous instructions to you.

Code:

dir *.exe

This will give you the names of all the executable files in C:\Constructor, if that doesn't give any useful results, change exe for bat.

It'll probably be something dead obvious, like START.EXE or CONSTRUCTOR.EXE. But why don't you just check by listing the files in the directory?
