Ive been using compatibility mode until recently when i finally realised the advantages of dosbox but, is using compatibility mode potentially harmful to my pc? I thought it was the correct way to run some games but a friend told me that permanent problems can arise from using it. Any thoughts?

No thoughts to post about compability mode it 'cause there are none.
It simply won't hurt your PC. If your early Win (95-98) game can run on it no problem. For some really recalcitrant W95-98 games that can't run even using compability use VPC. For dosgaming: Dosbox is the first way to go, not compability. And for those rare games that won't run in dosbox, use a port or VPC.

Thank you for this guide! I've been able to run most games the usual way with DosBox, but Oregon Trail always opens with the graphics all funky and overlapping each other. I hope following your steps will fix this. :)

damn i read the title and i thought it was about how to make DOSbox blow someones hardrive up, it could have been epic lulz (and looked like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj5SHrGoJT0), but no, it was just how to make games work without DOSbox, and what about the people marroned on the crappy island of vista? ever think about them? of coarse not, no one ever remembers the vistonians (just because this topic was made before vistas release in no excuse)
