I'm new to using DosBox but was able to get the Knights of Xentar game to play using Dosbox. The game/sound played too fast but I believe I can correct that with a cycle count adjustment right? I used the 10,000 count suggested in the help guide.

Now for Interactive Girls. I'm using WinXp and have set up a folder called dos on my d drive. Within the dos drive, I have the Interactive Girls folder called "in". I've extracted from the zip file and don't have a setup file. The files extensions I'm left with are: pg2, slb, and one exe file. I opened up Dosbox and created the d:\dos with the "mount c d:\dos". Then changed to the c prompt. Then changed the c directory to in "cd \in". When I type the exe file name "IGC", I get a brief dos box screen flash. Then the dosbox screen is blank with only the c:\in> prompt. Have I missed a step or is this a settings issue? I tried two different versions of the game and got the same result each time. I checked the dosbox site and it said the game was compatible with dosbox.

I would appreciate any assistance.

Which of the two games are you trying to run, exactly?

Found the cause. These games don't like EMS.

So, you can disable EMS in dosbox.conf... or do something easier: use the attached batchfile to enable or disable EMS, XMS and UMB from within DOSBox.

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to get Interactive Girl to play. I used your memory file and changed all the options to disabled but the game still will not load. I also tried various combinations of enable\disable but received the same results. Is there something else I can try?

I used your memory file and changed all the options to disabled but the game still will not load.

Forget it, I misread your problem description.

I know of two games using that series title. Type in DIR /p and tell me what filenames it returns.

There are several games in the file but I'm trying to play the Vida game. I extracted all the files from the Vida folder and was left with the pg2, slb, and the one exe file. I typed the name of the exe file "igc" but the game didn't load.

I typed in the dir /p as you instructed. I have set dosbox to point to my files so it is showing my dos games as follows: in, int, kn, nc, nort, and memory. The in & int are two different versions of interactive girl Vida files I tried in case I had a bad version of the game. The nc & nort are norton commander files. The memory is your memory file.
