There are lots of tutorials on the web and on this forum, try one of them. Basically, you'll mount a virtual c:\-drive, and your cd-drive as d:\. Then you'll install and configure the game "inside" DOSBox, and play it! The game works flawlessly with DOSBox.

If you seriously want to play the game i'd recommend the Battle.Net edition, though. It has a lot of usability improvements over the DOS version (for example, double-clicking a unit will select all visible units of that type) and runs very smoothly.

I thought about that, but this game has always worked fine and it should now. The double clicking isn't much of an issue either. I'll try another guide.

Okay, I read some guides and I don't really understand them. Does anyone know what to type in Dosbox? Or have a guide that should make me understand how to run the game using Dosbox? I have no clue what to write after the Z:\>, sadly.

Don't be so damn lazy. There are step by step instructions, i can't see what's so hard to understand about them. It doesn't get any easier than "step by step", does it?

Have a look at the stuff linked to from Minimax's signature.

I tried using the 60 seconds guide but I don't get past step 1. Oh and I am not lazy, I just fail at anything with commands and things like that. I actually try hard but it's not getting me anywhere when it comes to this stuff.

1. Create a folder for your game, e.g. in your Documents folder - usually C:\Users\your-user-name\Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame" (if you are still on Windows XP, the folder will be something like "C:\Documents and Settings\your-user-name\My Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame").

edit:made a folder named Warcraft II now. I have to go now, thanks so far to you two.

Create a folder for your game

Okay, I created a folder named ''Warcraft II''. Inserted my War2 CD, started DOSBox and now I'm stuck at step 4.

In DOSBox, tell DOSBox which of your real folders and real drives to use as the emulated DOS drives C: and D: […]

Z:\>mount C "C:\Users\your-user-name\Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame"
Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\Users\your-user-name\Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame

Z:\>mount D "D:\" -t cdrom
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as CDRom D:\

Z:\>C:
C:\>

I can do the ''Drive D is mounted as CDROM D:\'' part, but for the first part its not working. Are there supposed to be spaces between /Documents and Settings? It's saying it can't read it.

Check the path where you created the folder, if there are spaces between
the words, you have to type them as well...
Other than that post EXACTLY what you did, what you type in dosbox,
and what the response was.

Nothing in your quote mentions "Documents and settings". It does however mention "Documents".
