thats because of the spaces in the path name.
Do it differently:
in dosbox type mount c "c:\program files\path to where your old games are"
then c:
you are now right where your games are and you only have to use "cd" to change the dir.
For example
cd gamex

*sigh*

There is an [autoexec] section in the dosbox.conf (text file inside the folder where you installed dosbox) that allows to run certain commands (like mount) when dosbox starts.

Judging from your post, your ms-dos knowledge is little or non-existant. I am still saying you should get a front-end. It will make things easier for you.

As for the sound lag, I am guessing your haven't even read the MANUAL nor the guides on this forum. You shoud do so, ASAP.

Please search the forums, the wiki, the README (yes, it contains the answer to your problem) before asking, because all these simple questions have already been answered.
