NEED SOME HELP!
 

Sorry if this is somewhere else, but...

I have a windows 7 and have downloaded DOSBox0.74 from BOSBox.com. I'm trying to play some games, mainly the three Zorks, and have no idea what to do. If anyone can help, I will thank your face.

OK, thanks. But is there any way to dumb it down a bit? Here, let me put it in perspective. Let's say comparatively you're a college professor, I'm an infant. I'm completely lost.

'Sup WIIGUY, it helps us if you're more specific about your problem - where exactly are you getting stuck?

OK, I read over the DOS for Beginners thread and it says to put each game in a sub-category. I don't know what that means. I'm also typing "mount C C:\OLDGAMES" which is verbatum the name of the file I made, anyway, when I type it in, it gives me "Directory C:\OLDGAMES does not exist" I don't know where to go from here.

Where did you create the directory? Screenshot, please.

The only thing that can be done is to read it from the start. If you have difficulties understanding any terms or steps, just ask - I'll be happy to answer.

Is a directory the same as a file? What is a directory?

If you're familiar with what Windows calls "folders", that's the same thing as we call directories.
They are similar to files, but unlike files - which contain data - directories contain other directories and files.

OK, so, I have DOSBox in downloads and my OLDGAMES file in desktop. Hope that's what you mean.

This is a newbie-proof tutorial, you won't learn much but the drag'n-drop method could be a temporary solution:

But I really suggest you to follow the tutorials that Horseman linked you.
