This won't run. I've mounted DOSbox to the right directory but it says

"Unable to find capture.bin"

Any help is appreciated. Also, I'm new to the realm of computers past using them for web-surfing and term papers so please be as clear and direct as possible. I find it interesting but I have very limited knowledge. I'm a wicked noob.

Hi, I have no idea what I'm doing but am willing to learn.

Don't you have the capture game inside another folder? Or you just installed it at ...\oldgames like if it was the root folder of C.

If the installation program created a folder, you must CHANGE TO IT first, using the CD command.

E.g.

Z:\>C:

C:\>cd capture

C:\CAPTURE\>capture

You probably used different mountings when you installed the game.

That worked for a few games. Most of the games I have are in a compressed zipped folder and it's these that will not work when I change the directory. DOSbox says it is unable to change to it.
