First of all be slow with me because there are ALOT of things I DON'T know about computers 😅

Okay. I read the guide to asking Questions and I HAD a piece of paper that had all of that information on it. I've lost it and I have no other way of remembering because I've had this pc for a while. I can tell you this though.

Its a Quad-core Acer. For sound i use Realtek HD audio manager. I want to have Oblivion Arena running. I downloaded it off the internet from an offical site http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/downloads_games.htm For any one who wants to check it out. I got DOSBox 0.73. For my moniter driver i use Catalyst. If you want anyother information just ask and I'll see what I can do. I really do apologise for not having everything you might need to help me.

What I've done to try and get it working was I read 60 seconds guide to getting your game to run in DOSBox
For me this wasn't much help because I still couldn't get it working. Its possible that I entered something wrong. But i think it could have something to do with the fact that i downloaded it instead of using a disk or floppy disk in the case of arena.
Please if theres anything you can say to help me I would apperciate it.
Thanks a million.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the phrase "Oblivion Arena" makes my brain explode. It's like this:
The Elder Scrolls Chapter One: Arena
The Elder Scrolls Chapter Two: Daggerfall
The Elder Scrolls Chapter Three: Morrowind
The Elder Scrolls Chapter Four: Oblivion

Yes, Oblivion is just part 4 of a 15-year old RPG series.

Anyways, the first link you posted has a link to instructions: http://www.elderscrolls.com/tenth_anniv/Arena106%20Setup.pdf

I think I remember hearing that there may be a bug in the instructions though, but I can't remember what.

the space between cd and arena was/is a bit unclear.
instructions themselves were correct

You are mistaken, friend. The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is the LATEST installment in the series and it's the newest one.

The Elder Scrolls: Arena is the oldest one.
