Read my above post and Facebook and your computer paths with img tags around them wont show images. Use Photobucket or Imageshack to host the file and then they will give you links to use on most forums.

My above post should allow you to play the game.

[quote] I think I see the problem here, the version from this site wont work in Dosbox without running the right file. Just to be safe, make sure you have not just mounted the U7 folder but the folder that U7 is in. Then you need to run Dosbox.bat.[quote]
either that didnt work or a .bat file type is not a windows batch file
ps. how do i get my avatar to appear (not trying to go off topic)

Of course it isn't a windows batch file...it's a dos one. It needs to be run in Dosbox.

Go to My Settings>Edit Avatar (its on the list to the left) and upload one.

Did you get U7 from here? The folder hosted on our site includes a file named Dosbox.bat inside the U7 folder, this runs the game (it has settings for Memory and cycles I think).

So get the game from our site and run that file in Dosbox.

I just downloaded this from the site. Can you see the file name Dosbox.bat. You need to open Dosbox, mount the folder that the U7 folder is in and run that file.
