Question UFO Enemy Unknown Dos and Vist

Hello,

I downloaded this excellent game with dreams of reliving my experience of some 10 years ago. Sadly, the windows version won't work with Vista and Dosbox can't open the file (dos4gw). What can I do?

Please help me relive my craving!

Thanks in advance.

Let me get this straight. Are you trying to run the game by running dos4gw? If so, don't. There are several exe, com and bat files there if I recall correctly. One is UFO, another is GO (I think). Try one of those and see if you're in better luck.

If you have tried one of those and the dos4gw still crashes the game, please post any error messages.

if mm's suggestions didn't help and you were running go.bat, then post exactly where is your ufo game located on your hard drive, what commands did you use to mount a virtual drive, what is your dosbox version and whether is the unpacked game directory exactly 11 470 979 bytes in size

[nitpicking]Well, you see, GO isn't only a command but it is the command to run the file named GO[/nitpicking]
