Default Newbie HELP

Hi

OK, I downloaded Lemmings and extracted it into C:\oldgames\Lemmings

I downloaded DosBox 0.72

I downloaded NC C:\oldgames\NC

I followed the instructions on the forum.....

So I did the MOUNT C C:\
Then C:

Then CD NC
install

The NC thing opens up fine. I continued to do as the site says.

Then the instructions stop. The website says now exit Dos, happy gaming (or somehting similar)

How do I play the game?

Also, when I open up DOSBOX again, it reverts to the Z: so I have to type all the MOUNT C etc again.

What am I doing wrong?

Windows Vista BTW

NC has nothing to do with the game.

Start DOSBox and type mount c c:\oldgames and press enter
then type c: and press enter
then type cd lemmings and press enter
then run the game by typing whatever program you use to start the game.

I would take the easy way out and just use a DOSBox frontend like D-fend Reloaded or D.O.G.

He meant the game executable, which in the case of lemmings is lemmings.bat. So when you're at c:\Lemmings> just type lemmings again and hit enter.

If DOS is something you've never tangled with, I'd suggest using one of the frontends I mentioned. That'll let you do things the windows way.
