DOSBox is compatibile with Windows Vista.
If you have problems with it, please post a new thread with a detailed description of the problem.

so.. ive followed this tutorial up until the point where im downloading norton commander. where can i dl actual norton commander and NOT a "norton-commander-like" program? also- when i try to change the text in the DOSconf. file it wont allow me to save changes for some reason.

oh and i'm running Vista. It typically makes me want to smash my face into the keyboard.

anyone got any suggestions for me? im trying to run this game i remember liking as a kid called museum madness...
please! im just trying to recapture a small part of my childhood!!

thanks

You don't need Norton Commander to run DOSBox. You can still run it just fine without NC once you have the config file set up. However, since the links on this site to NC aren't working, you can find NC (English) here if you want to use it. It's a slow download, so be patient.

As for your file issue, right click on the file, select "Properties", and make sure it's not set to "Read Only". If it is, uncheck that box and click "Apply". Things should work fine then. If on the other hand, you can't save because an unknown program is using it, just do a quick restart of your PC, and the text file should be freed up.

Thanks for making this guide. It's a big help for those of us not familiar with the ins and outs of DOSBox.
