See that "thesecretofmonkeyisland_save" folder?

Put the savegame in there.

You should be able to find it in the savegames screen of monkey island then.

I can play the game on dosbox by dragging the 'monkey exe' file like you said.

But when I drag the savegame into the dosbox icon it says it's an illegal command.

FFS, you're supposed to copy the savegame into the game directory... not try running the savegame in DOSBox (which is never going to work).

Before you open DOSBox, copy the saved game into the directory with the game in it. Then, and only then, run the game in DOSBox.
