You shouldn't put these suggestions into people's heads.

In all seriousness, did you read the README that comes with DosBox?

Try tryping HELP and INTRO in DosBox. Read the documentation.

did you install dosbox ?
if so there is a shortcut in the start menu which should start dosbox

you will get a black screen with some text in it and the last line is
z:\
then type intro for a brief introduction

Thanks alot for your help.

But the trouble was that i got only the sourcecode to dosbox.
I downloaded it from BeBits.

But when i checked the official homepage i found the installer 😁
