So, I changed the line 'open=surface' to the suggestions you gave, after each time I saved the file and opened DosBox and then put the PC Game CD in to let it pop up automatically. I selected to play and loaded the same scenario that has given me the most problems and it still xrashed to the desktop …

Sorry but I figured it ran automatically. I'll try it tonite and get back to you. It shut down and did the same thing last nite when I tried to play. Thanks! -Luke

DosBox I mean

Question: When I downloaded DosBox originally to my computer, and then loaded War Craft II from the CDs I purchased, do I have to run DosBox every time I want to play War Craft or is it already running? If I'm suppose to run DosBox before I play that may be my problem already. From your post it …

I can barely navigate myself thru this blog or forum to save my life. A guy named Adam Pierce halfway …

I'm sorry but my non-computer lingo hurts me on blogs when talking to you all who have better terminology. I purchased the original TOD PC Game from a seller on Ebay and then the expansion set from another seller on ebay. I did not download them from a website. I apologize for the confusion. I spent …

I purchased the games from 2 seperate Ebay sellers and they look just like the original CD's that I use to have back in the 90's. When I said I downloaded them I meant that I downloaded them onto my computer, not from an on-line program or stealing them in other words. Sorry for the confusion. My …
