I've never run dosbox in windows... but run dosbox with the directory of your unzipped game as an argument

ie "dosbox C:\pirates"

Could you please elaborate? How to run using this arguement? I tried the run option, but it doesn't recognize the prefix as an arguement - it simply states that no such folder as 'dosbox' exists...

My real problem is that my screen keeps auto prompting a menu saying that this program should run in 1280x1024 (the resolution I use in windows xp), thus interrupting the game again and again (about once every 30 minutes). How can I make my screen/driver stop doing this?

I already tried the "run in 640x480 resolution" under properties while starting DOSbox. It makes no difference. [/b][/quote]
Have you tried using D-Fend http://members.home.nl/mabus/dfend.htm as a front-end to Dosbox? It makes things a lot easier, including setting a different screen resolution for the game you're running in Dosbox.
