Hi all, i'm back again.
I have one thing to say: "eL_Pusher", you are a legend. Your were right, the problem was with the SDL.DLL file.
I went on the site and downloaded firstly version 1.0.8 for Win32. This did not work. I then tried version 1.2.8 for Win32 and what do you know "success at last". DosBOX.exe now runs like a charm. I was kind of suprised actually because the size of the SDL.DLL (ver 1.2.😎 was quite a bit smaller than the file of the SDL.DLL provided with the DosBox 0.63 download.
I'm glad this worked because I didn't really fancy having to muck around with the Dosbox.conf file. The only thing I have changed in that is setting fullscreen = true so that DosBox starts in fullscreen mode.
I know I am probably pushing my luck (and I probably should start a new thread) but seeming as I am on a roll, I do have another question.
Is there a way around having to mount the specified drive and selecting the program you want to run everytime DOSBox starts.
For example, lets say I want to run the program called "Jimmy" which is located on F: Drive.
I might type the following:
mount c f:\Jimmy
Then in order to start the program, I would type the following
C: Jimmy.exe
You see, I am setting up this computer for someone else who is pretty much computer illiterate. I am ok to type in such commands but I don't think he will cope very well. Also, he will be running this program all the time so it could become quite time consuming.
Is there a way that I could create these commands so that they auto execute on start-up? A bit like the way the Autoexec.bat file used to work.
Any suggestions would be graetly appreciated.
Thanks agin eL_Pusher.
Mark
