This link no longer works, since Narod moved to uCoz. Any chance you could give an updated link? It would be much appreciated!

In other words, you're trying to be smart and are making things worse by not following instructions.
FIRST, if you are mounting c:\doswin as DOSBox drive c, then everything in C:\doswin can be accessed by DOSBox.
SECOND, Windows 3 does not have a "system files" subdirectory, only "system" and you should NOT put games into it.
THIRD, the instructions on the game's page are clear - if you try running the game from somewhere that is not the root of a drive, it won't run properly. Put it all in c:\doswin

i hope that is what you were asking...i've used dosbox before to play other dos games but i have never had to use a diff. operating system within dosbox so i am a little lost...however, i do remember trying this before on an older operating system (xp) without dosbox and getting the same/similar error message.

running in win3

hello all...don't know if anyone will reply to this, but i'll give it a shot!

trying to run dinosaur safari. am running windows 3 in dosbox. i have the game folder "safari" under c:\systemfiles in windows. when i run the game, the first few images show (i get to the room with the globe) but then an error message pops up: "DSAFARI caused a general protection fault in module ds.exe..."

what does this mean?
i feel like i am so close to being able to play the game and i'm so frustrated!
