We need to know your operating system, your pc specs as well as which games you have downloaded. Also, which version of DOSBox did you get? Was it the correct one for your operating system? (That is, if you're on a mac, you need DOSBox for mac, etc etc)

But first, check the help file in Winzip, and learn how to unzip. If necessary, google.

EDIT: I forgot, sorry.

The easiest way to extract files now is to create a folder to where you want to extract the files.

Right click on the zip file and select "extract to..." and select your newly created folder.

You should then get all the game files in the new folder which you name after the game BUT with no more than 8 characters in it's name (due to limitations in DOS).

It's all explained in the sticky ("A beginner's guide to DOSBox"):
http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=14406
We've put it there specially for users who never heard of DOSBox before, so please read it first.

If you have any actual questions to ask about Winzip, Winrar, DOSBox or the guide you're more than welcome to ask them.
