Sorry I couldn't help. I don't use dosbox so I don't know what else to suggest..

Are the files read only ?

[Squalidangel]

ooohh..ooh... Someone told me what that means..Iknow if you don't ask me...?

Then I can feel useful for once here on this site..

Do you have WIN98..? If yes, forget about dosbox and just setup the game with no sound...it will then work.

got it to work

As for simfarm, you are getting that error because you unzipped it without attaining the directory structure. I don't know which un-archiver you used, but it was a sucky one obviously tongue.gif You should have two directories within your simfarm directory - crops and sound. If all files are in the game's root directory, you will get the error you stated here!


dont use winzip!

Use irrigation ditchs instead, they don't break and they do something useful.
