It's a problem in that it is no DOS game, and dosbox is called
DOSbox not WINbox.
The name of the program/game would also be helpfull, and
how exactly you started it (batch file etc.)

or ask these people why they try to run Windows games in DosBox.

I guess it's the ol' 16bit subsystem problem and they don't know the diff between DOS/Windows...they just want their program to work and since 16bit subsystem won't let their program work the assume their program is DOS based. I blame MS for this mess for their confusing error messages. You'd think with all the resources they pore into gaudy graphics that they'd at least do the same for error messages.
