I don't think this is DOSbox problem. I'm running Windows 7 and think that therein lies the problem. So are you using DOSBox or not? Because a game running in DOSBox isn't really going to be affected by Windows 7. If you download a debug-enabled version of DOSBox, it will show you what files the …

That link seems to suggest you only get dosstart.bat if you upgrade from MS-DOS when you install Windows. I forget the exact syntax, but I know you can load one of the common DOS CD-ROM device drivers from a .bat file using one of the various device-driver loaders (ddl, drvload, etc).

Someone posted about this a while ago. The Windows version will work if you have an nVidia card, provided that you have the latest drivers and rename the EXE (odd as that sounds). http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=20952&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=1969&start=20 http://www.vogons.org/ …

If you want to check, you could use an MD5 digest program, like WinMD5sum, to see if the files are identical to those on the CD.

It looks a lot like a file access problem. Did you run the install program on the CD from within DOSBox? If you did, were you using the same mounted directories at the time? (I vaguely recall that the relevant directory information is available in an easily-edited config file in the game's directory …

Only the first Win95 version runs more or less okay. Is it the 95B/98 shell that causes the problem? (If it's installing but Explorer is crashing, it's a possibility, right?) It is a fairly straightforward matter to replace it with the shell from the first version of Win95 (either by using 98lite …

The name is too famous for it to be left alone. A generic boring FPS that would otherwise go unnoticed will sell a lot more copies with the DNF name.
