I got VirtualPC, but it is too slow.* :blink:* Is vmware any faster?*

FreeDOS is nice package.

Have you tried MS DOS 7.10?

Nice too, comes also with CD instalation.[/b]

that depends on your system specs. i have an amd duron 857mhz processor with 384mb of ram and 30gb hd and i tried running games in dosbox and VMware and i have had no problems with speed in vmware (i did in dosbox though) and i'll try out MS-DOS 7.10, thanks for the link

i don't bother with dosbox now. i got vmware and i installed freedos on one of the virtual machines with a cd-rom driver. runs dos games far better than dosbox ever will [/quote]
right as if the vmware people care about dos. [/b][/quote]
they intended for it to run most operating systems (dos included) they didn't intend for it to run freedos but it still works well on there so im happy

Rogue I used to set couple lines in config file. (mostly to mount a folder as C drive, then cd to that folder, mount a cd rom drive and finaly clear the screen, but after I got D-Fend I stoped to do that as each game got it's file created automaticly at the time I am adding a game to the program. k:

Here are the lines I used to add to bottom of config file (belove this line: '# Lines in this section will be run at startup.':

mount C "C:\DOS\CDrive"
mount D "E:\" -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl
C:
CLS

FreeFreddy Just look for the following line in dosbox.conf:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

and add the commands there you want to be executed at start.

I've actually added the mount command in the start-up file of Dosbox, so I don't have to enter it everytime. Nice way of removing this small annoyance. k:
Gratitude for pointing that out.

Didnīt know it was possible.
