For anyone having problems, here's *exactly* what I did: (1). Create a directory on my harddrive, in my case: d:\DOSBOX2. (2). Download and UnRar the above archive (with directories intact !) to d:\DOSBOX2 This gave me the following files and directory structure in D:\DOSBox2 <DIR> WING <DIR> SB16 <DIR> WIN32APP <DIR> WINDOWS windows.bat Devlod.com If you don't have this, then you have *not* extracted the RAR file properly (make sure you extract the RAR completely and with paths / directories intact). (3). Run DOSBox v0.74 and in DOSBox's command window type the following commands: mount c d:\DOSBOX2 c: windows and that's it. Piece of cake. :max: |

MOUNT C D:\DOSBOX C: WINDOWS.BAT And then Windows starts, but then my Program Manager is completely blank. There's nothing in it, it's just completely white. I'm trying to play SimTower on my laptop (Win7 64-bit) and there was a video tutorial I watched but I'm not pretty much stuck because there's nothing to click in the Program Manager. |
You might need first to copy/install games to a sub-folder in the D:\DOSBOX\ folder, since the DOSBOX folder is essentially a complete drive, mounted with DosBox, and you can't access any other folders on drive D: while in DosBox (and with Win 3.11's Program Manager at that), with that mount command.
If there's nothing at all shown in Program Manager, maybe it's because all other sub-folders in DOSBOX are marked as Hidden and/or System and not visible normally. |

Check that d:\dosbox\windows contains several GRP files: ACCESSOR.GRP, AUDIOSOF.GRP, GAMES.GRP, MAIN.GRP, NETWORK.GRP, QUICKTIM.GRP and STARTUP.GRP Also verify that PROGMAN.INI contains: Code:

This is what I see: Code:
[Settings] EDIT: I added those things into PROGRAM.INI and now it looks okay. Thanks for your help :) |
Hey, I came across this when I was searching for ways to play my old Sim Tower game. I just can't get your link to work on the original post so that I can get the files. I tried on a different laptop as well as different browsers and neither of them worked. Any help would be lovely!

One more question for you if you don't mind! It all works perfectly, but when I try and bring my mouse back out to my actual computer screen rather than windows 3 in dos, it disappears. Is there a way to prevent that? It also disappears when I close out of windows 3 and goes back to the dos box screen. Thank you so much! |
