One quick question, is there anyway to increase the video quality to "High quality?"

I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to. Is this an option in a particular game?

One more question. I would like to know how to change image quality. I would like to set it to High Quality.

I still have no idea what you mean. "High Quality" can mean just about anything. What leads you to believe your games are not in High Quality already?

Why does DOSBox not keep:
The mounted drives?

I had to do this again.
Z:\>Mount C E\Games\DOS
Z:\>Mount D O:\ -t cdrom

Jorpho,

"I still have no idea what you mean. "High Quality" can mean just about anything. What leads you to believe your games are not in High Quality already?"
The games are 320x240 my PC can show 1920x1080.

If you put the lines in the [autoexec] section of your DOSBox.conf, they will be run automatically every time you start DOSBox.
THIS IS ALSO DESCRIBED IN THE GUIDE. THE GUIDE WHICH YOU CAN READ BY CLICKING ON THESE WORDS.

The games are 320x240 my PC can show 1920x1080.

This still isn't clear. If the games are 320x240 then nothing can magically make them 1920x1080.

Are you asking how to make the game fullscreen?

Okay I did:
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
loadfix -64
Mount C E\Games\DOS -freesize 999
Mount D O:\ -t cdrom

I left the, "-freesize 999" there.

Don't make loadifx the default, also freesize is too big and unless you need it leave it out altogether. Dosbox has sensible defaults and those shouldn't be changed unless needed

In the dosbox-0.74.conf file
Under the autoexec I added:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
loadfix -64
Mount C E\Games\DOS -freesize 999
Mount D O:\ -t cdrom
# mount a a:\ -t floppy

Now I get:
Z:\>C
Illegal command: C.
Z:\>C:
You must mount it first. Type into or intro mount for more information.
Z:\>E
Illegal command: E.
Z:\>E:
You must mount it first. Type into or intro mount for more information.
Z:\>D
Illegal command:D.
Z:\>D:
You must mount it first. Type into or intro mount for more information.
Z:\>O
Illegal command:O.
Z:\>O:
You must mount it first. Type into or intro mount for more information.

Now when I type, again!
Z:\>Mount C E\Games\DOS
Dive C is mounted as local directory E\Games\DOS\
Z:\>Mount D O:\ -t cdrom
MSCDEX Installed.
Drive D is mounted as CDRom O:\

Now when I do:
Z:\>C:
C:\>cd WL
C:\WL>WL.exe
The Wasteland game comes up and it still has all the characters I created.

You're probably not editing the right dosbox-0.74.conf. The second, black window that appears when you launch DOSBox (the one with a title of "DOSBox Status Window") will have a line reading "CONFIG:Loading primary settings from config file" followed by a filename. Is that the file you edited?

The dosbox-0.74.conf file under E:\Games\DOS\ where DOSBox.exe is does not work!
The dosbox-0.74.conf file under C:\Users\Kenny\AppData\Local\DOSBox\ does work!

I added:
language=
machine=svga_et4000
captures=capture
memsize=16
and
#Mount C E\Games\DOS -freesize 999
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
loadfix -64
Mount C E:\Games\DOS
Mount D O:\ -t cdrom
# mount a a:\ -t floppy

DOSBox
I the dosbox-0.74.conf file I can not find any where to change color pallets.
In my Ultima III Exodus I would like to change the trees and grass from cyan to green and the water from gray to blue.

Is there some setting in the dosbox-0.74.conf file that I am missing or is there some other file I need to edit?

Thanks in advance.
