Hello,

I just tried using DOSBox yesterday since it seems to be the only way I can play my favorite game of all time, TIE Fighter, under Windows XP.

I'm using DOSBox 0.68 and D-Fend 2.0.62.42

I've gone through and learned a lot of about DOSBox in a short time, and was able to mount everything properly and actually get it to execute. However, when I run TIE.EXE which is supposed to run the game, it instead runs the install program. Since the game is already installed, I can't choose any of the options and I simply exit. I've tried several different settings within D-Fend (changing the amount and type of memory used, changing the processor type, changing the sound options, etc) but nothing seems to make any difference. It just simply loads the install program when I want to run the actual game.

Does anyone have any ideas what may be happening? Am I going about things the wrong way? I install TIE fighter through Windows first, which works fine (the directory and all the proper files show up on my PC) and then I set everything up through D-Fend. But still...no go.

If anyone could give me any ideas, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
