i've been trying to download games all night, i downloaded dosbox and got it all set up. now, im able to run a few of the games but i cant get them working properly... cant use my mouse, or cant use the key board to make choices in menus. I am not computer illiterate, however this is really confusing me. i set up dosbox how the site told me too... but it still isnt working!
HELP! anything would be appreciated  oh, and i've downloaded Ancient Empires and Where in the World is Camen Sandiago (which works for the most part) |

you are running the games in DOSbox right ?
if so. How do you start them ? (if the keyboard doesn't work)

And did you watch the cycles that DosBox runs with?
Depending on your processor speed you have to adjust them for every game. There is a number of cycles that will run most games smoothly, though.

You might want to check out the official DosBox FAQ, and particularly this part of it. It is quite helpful for users unfamiliar with DosBox.

Your PC just might not be good enough. I know mine isn't. Actually very few games on AB that I can run on this PC.
