I feel horrible in asking considering there are so many other help questions but I feel I need a direct answer or a possible link to a thread that has already answered my question.

Well my question is.: I followed the Basic Setup and Installation of DosBox, I did step by step followed instruction but when I got to the last part: C:\TESTDRIV>TDCGA.EXE

I got Illegal Command I was wondering what happened because everything went smoothly. If it helps I was trying to run Wolf since I heard it was an okay game for animal simulation gamers like myself.

If there's any links to guides I would appreciate it and thank you for taking the time to help me.

when you're in the c:\testdriv type "dir" and post what it says

the best guide is readme.txt, by the way

So I typed "Dir" And it gave me a bunch of like TXT, ACT,PIC etc. But I think I need to know the certain Directory Command it says that I might need one different from the TDCGA. EXE one. I Don't know I'm just throwing what the guide says.

you could try with

DIR *.EXE

this will filter only .EXE files

oh so you're trying to run a different game than testdrive? of course you need different command

you need to run an excutable. excutables have "EXE" extension, both in windows and dos, why does that reterded micro$oft have extensions hidden by default? then people don't know anything about files at all

anyways in oder to see what excutables are in a directory you can use command dir *.exe. * is a wildcard that means "anything", so the command is going to list all the files with any name that end with .exe -what you want.

then look for an exe that looks like one that might run your game. it can be start.exe go.exe or "name of the game".exe "acronym of the name of the game".exe, anything.

sometimes games are run via bat files, rather run those when you see some. so in order to list all the bat files you write dir *.bat ..

edit:bobbin was first

Thank you for your help but I figured it out. I dragged the Wolf application over the DOSbox short cut on my desktop and it worked ^^
