We're not talking about the same thing at all though. The guy here who is asking for information want to know how to run a game. With an installation of Win 3.1, we're talking about something which would usually require a dual boot and all that stuff, which I would not recommend to do in DOSBox anyways.

BTW, you really haven't tried that root mount in Vista ...... or Linux or a Mac, did you? Or a non-admin account in XP/Vista .....
No, I didn't. I never used a Mac and never used Vista, and I'm pretty glad about the Vista part. However, people should expect to have weird problems when using programs which are not made for their operating system. Care to enlighten me a little more on the subject? I thought that DOSBox wasn't supposed to work at all on non-admin account anyways?

For the rest DosRaider, it's not that I don't want to acknowledge what you're saying... But for me it only look like your whole argument is based on the idea that "noobs should not be given the opportunity to screw up". Which is, I believe, the best way to stop them from learning from themselves, and the main reason why I hate the newbie friendliness of WinXP since it in practice prevent you from doing anything at all. I played myself as a noob in the root directory of MS-DOS, Win 3.0 and 3.1, Win 95, Win 98 and WinXP since countless years... And I only screwed up once in my very early days, on my 386... That didn't stop me from doing anything.
