My Problem is at the actually DOS-Box i can't write a Backslash... \ <-- This one ^^ Maybe the ALT key 2 write it is blocked oO

By the way... i cant find any language support or or Key support... i use europe keys but the dll's are 4 an american one...

Next thing is the Game Genewars... it seems that it didn't run... i use win2k maybe the backslash is the problem that it didn't work... (can'T write any mounts...) so i use "mount c c:/" instead of "mount c c:\" so the path isn't right

well it's documented at multiple places as well as a file with the very weird name called README

So try looking there for your backslash problem.

So the game Genewars didn't work...

At another game it can't creat files 'cause there is no backslash... he writes "can't create file c: /\..." so this game didn't start too.

I think that using / instead of \ works only on Windows NT/2000/XP, not on W9x.
Use another solution (switch keyboard layout in Windows) or wait for the next version.

Yeah that maybe the reason... I use 2k maybe i should use DOS-Box on 98 and i try it there again... Genewars run on 95, 98 and ME 4 example it may be just a kernel and memory problem.

The only problem is... i got no drivers for my actually hardware below win 2k...

Sometimes Dosbox gives that message when it tries to write to a hidden file (maybe other attributes have problems too), I've seen it happen in Supaplex.
