Just a couple of final question: where can i find the captures folder? I have a WinXP with a classic start bar.

Program Files -> DOSBox -> Capture.

Games' sounds do not work... how can I tweak the games in order to get them functional with a SoundBlaster?

Run their accompanying setup utilities.
It might be more useful if you specified which games you're having problems with.

Hello,

I've currently problems with 'Loom' and 'Ringworld'.

I hate to say that, but... In order to capture snapshot of the games CTRL + F5 does not work... the capture folder remains empty.
Am I missing something?

Hi Shebnar....I am not a computer expert but I have played both Loom and Ringworld in Dosbox without any problems..I use a computer with Windows XP...If you install Dosbox STRICTLY AS PER INSTRUCTIONS you can run practically any of the old games without a hitch... Good Luck..SAL

Did you press both keys at the same time?
Are you using a non-US keyboard layout?

I pressed at the same time CTRL and F5

Yes, my keyboard is non-US

For good understanding: FIRST CTRL, hold it down and THEN F5
Otherwise it won't work.

And of course if you have such multimediacrap keyboard be sure that the Function keys are enabled.

Function keys are enabled, I press CTRL first, I hold it down and then I press F5... :amused: And the capture folder remains empty.

Open DOSBox.conf and see, under the [captures] heading, what folder is specified in the "captures=..." line. The screenshots created when pressing Ctrl+F5 should be there.

Also, what version of Windows are you using, and what kind of user account are you running DOSBox from? Where did you install DOSBox, was it in the default folder? When you try to take screenshots, what does the console say? (The console is the second window that DOSBox normally shows, visible if you don't use the main one in full screen.)
