Thanks, what I do is just remove my cable, turn UAC off, restart, make changes, turn it back on, insert cable, restart computer. If things in life were this simple...

I needed to edit a .conf file in Windows 7, and when I tried to save it, it said access was denied. What gives?

I'm trying to play Final Fantasy VII on Windows XP..any way I look at it, I can't play. Everyone tells me so. And I don't have a bank account, so I can't use PayPal on EBay..

Hey all, if anyone else lives in Toronto, do you think you could help me out? I'm looking for a store that sells older computers that are Windows 95/Windows 98 compatible! I've got a whole slew of old Win95/98 games that I wouldn't mind playing, but all of them either freeze or crash my new WinXP …

Yeah! I can't wait! It'll probably be the first MMO I play!

If no one is publishing the "abandonware" games anymore, if no one gets profit from them anymore, and when you can't get these classics anymore from any stores online or offline, does that negate the rights of a person who has not played the game before to try it? Are they now lost forever with the …

Mine is from the bombest game of all the movie games, X-Wing!! I'm actually playing it right now! I'm on the second tour of duty, at the mission where I'm stealing the comsats from the freighter!

OK I used that decrapifier thing. And it crashed my hard drive. My HAL.DLL file was missing or corrupt when I started my computer, and I had to re-install Windows 4 times before I could get things back on track. It was literally like a nightmare come true. In this it taught me a lesson: how much of …

Oh ok, I did that decrapifier thing. Removed some redundant programs. Now all I have to do is test out Dosbox... ..and when I do I'll get back to you!! Thanks

This may sound stupid but..what's a frontend? I read the definition on Wikipedia, but it seems a little ambiguous. Anyone care to help me out here?

Hmm..check out my list of tasks, and see if you can find any possible culprits, guys!

Maybe weed out your tooltray So you're saying that it might be another program that is cycling, or something? And it's causing it to conflict with Dosbox?

By the way my dosbox is version 0.72, I have a pentium 4 dual core 2.2 ghz E2200 processor, an NVIDIA Geforce 8300 GS and 2 gigs of memory. It's a Dell, so I'm sure it's not the computer that is causing the problem.

Here is the error. One is the normal pic, and the other one is when it gets messed, approximately 5 minutes into gameplay. Even when I'm not on the computer, I can just wait 5 minutes or so and it will screw up on it's own! Is there a redraw or something I can do? I have to keep alt-entering for it …

This happens when playing any game on Dosbox, my screen flips out and turns off-colour at random moments. Is there any way to refresh the screen so that the original colour scheme is restored?
