Very well;

unzip your "game" to C:\game
run dosbox.
write;
mount c: c:\ "press enter"
cd game "press enter"

Now, write the name of the game file (example game.exe)

Being a girl is not a good excuse. :D

What exactly is your problem?

What? Being a girl means you can get away with not knowing stuff. It's a sex change for me then!

I bet it was some boy who was too scared and ashamed to admit that he's lost with technical stuff. It happens often to us. (Specially if we have to ask for directions ;)) :whistle: LOL

I've been working with computers for 20 years or so, have been making a living (if you can call it a life) in desktop publishing for all these years, and consider myself pretty darn savvy about computers, but...

I know a ten year old girl (she prefers "chick") who can practically whoop my a** when it comes to computers. She even types faster than me!

That definitely had to be a guy. I've never met a girl yet who would call herself dumb.

I will explain everything to you step-by-step:

1. Open file using WinZip.
2. Extract it where you want (let's say - c:\game)
3. Open directory where you installed DosBox
4. Open directory where you installed game
5. Move your game's .exe file over DosBox's .exe file and the game will open!
6. To enlarge the window to full screen press alt+enter (together)!
7. Enjoy playing! :ok:
