    dos games

    I'm running xp sp2... I've downloaded warcraft 2 from a site which doesn't open. I've later learnt that I should use dosbox to open it. So finally after a few hours of torment I got it to open bt now at single player mode it asks for a cd. I have downloaded a few cracks and I just can't seem to get past this point. I'm at the verge of pulling my hair out. Does any1 have experience in this field as I clearly don't

    Would really appreciate it
    dont hate me cause im a Red Devil
    without DIGITAL, my life would be KAOS

    make a folder on ur C drive call games

    extract warcraft 2 game into game folder

    look at the dos files find the exe
    so
    example war2.exe

    open dosbox

    type this

    mount c c:\games

    then c:\

    this should bring up the C:\ command

    then type the exe of ur game n it should run
    so
    example C:\war2.exe

    if u made a sub folder in ur games folder then u will have to call the subfolder before the exe
    so from start to finish
    example

    mount c c:\games

    C:\cd warcraft2 - If u called the subfolder that

    C:\war.exe

    that should run the game






    so looking at the picture

    i have made a folder in my c drive called games

    i have made a subfolder within called fodder

    so

    i call the game directory

    call the c drive

    then call the subfolder of the game alway with cd in front of the subfolder name

    then call the application/exe


    i havent got enought time atm to show u how to configure dos so automaticly put in game directory and have u just put in the subfolder and game exe only



    hope this helps

    some game u can download from ere http://www.oldschooldos.com/allgames.php

    Edit: in the folder of extracted files u will also see install or setup app/exe's
    on the command line select one of those app/exe to setup sound a gfx
