Default DOS games on Vista (Fullscreen cmd problem)
DOSBOX FULL SCREEN VISTA CMD .PIF

hi all.. just wanting to remind the community that DOS games can be played under vista with DOSBOX software. I just got Quake 1 and Champion of the Raj working. but i'm sure you have your own favourites.

It's easy to work out just remember this command line...

mount c c:\quake
c:
dir

it has a built in MOSLOW.

Not to mention that with his mount dosbox can't work in Vista for half the peeps on a standard or restricted (-daddy's PC)- account.

Now that you brought it up, _r.u.s.s., what's 'bout the brothels? :nuts:

MOSLOW? I don't know where the heck did you read that, since DOSBox' speed control doesn't have jack to do with Mo'Slo or _any_ CPU throttlers.

BTW, _r.u.s.s., this comparisn was dead on. :amused:

DOSBox will work for restricted accounts (read NON Admin) account as long as you install it (or copy DOSBox files) to your user folder, and if you place your drive to be mounted to your user folder.

Have you tried that??

Simply work in \your_name\ folder. No problems there.

You only need once admin help on a guest account to install dosbox in \your_name\, after that it's straight forward.

So do you don't read topics where you post in? Or do you just want to randomly get 20 posts ???
