Hey everyone.

I did everything following The Newbie's Pictorial Guide To DOSBox , but when I am trying to run a game, it says "illegal command".

Here is the screenshot:

The game I am trying to launch is Powerslide for Windows 95/98:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerslide_(video_game)

I installed it in "D:/oldgames/ps". The .exe file is called "powerslide".

What am I doing wrong?

I've spent days on trying to launch the favourite game of my childhood, but in Vista it just says "sorry, the game doesn't work on Windows NT!", so I decided to try some extraordinary way like DosBox.

I am looking forward to getting any help.

Regards.

I don't really understand what this nglide thing is (I guess some tool which makes the graphics of the game work like on old systems), but I installed it and will try to use it. I have 1 problem though.

"How to enable antialiasing with nGlide?
Go to your Display driver panel and select 'Override application setting' Antialiasing mode. "

What does it mean? I don't have English system and I don't kno where I can find this folder to switch nGlide on.

It's not a folder, it's the panel for your video card. It usually sits on your system tray.
