Yes. It is called the ReadMe file.

No you don't. This is not DOSBox: http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=6220100 It is the almost-but-not-quite DOS emulation that comes with Windows.

Why do you post in DOSBox Games/Apps when you are not using DOSBox?

You might want to try and move that "FIFA 96" folder to your Documents folder and adjust the mount command in DOSBox correspondingly. E.g. something like mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\zelenog\Documents\FIFA 96" It could be that Vista do not like you mucking around in the C:\ directory.

Hmm. My guess right now is that something is wrong with your CD. Maybe a scratch on the CD? Can you copy the 3 files from the CD onto the harddisk by hand? To get an idea what that "File READ ERROR" is all about you might need to install a little detective tool: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/ …

Many, many, many people don't bother to even read the README file. Many, many, many people don't bother to read the guides here at VOGONS. A lot of run around with the delusion that abandonware is somehow legal to use. Do you really think those people have the least interest in pressing some obscure …

franpa - the default cycles setting is auto. Any specific reason that you decided to override that?

On a different note you could ofcourse wonder why ID is still milking their age old dos games, might give the fans something for free after all this time. But okay that's their right to do so. We went over this some months ago. Back then I said (and I still do) that I think publishers are holding …

I am perfectly calm. As I said earlier: The forums are busy now. I will sit tight until Monday-Tuesday when the people at id Software will be back in the office. By then I expect some comment. If none is forthcoming, then I will hit my e-mail button. A kind of answer has already come forth: An Steam …

As someone said on /. : It looks like DOSBox development will be nicely funded this year.

Thanks cyt0plas. That is very interesting. It matches what Qbix saw yesterday - that it definitely was not the stock 0.70 version of DOSBox that Steam used. *** Merged with existing id/Steam thread ***

If you open and read the file called (Ta Da!) README.TXT, then after 5 minutes your screen will automatically switch to full screen. Or maybe not.

Okay - now we are getting somewhere. What else do you have on that CD? No INSTALL.EXE ? No INSTALL.BAT ?

Also, I have Windows 95 disc with me. It has MS-DOS 7.0 which is good enough to run those two gaems (as I was told) But I am afraid to install it because it may override/damage my Vista. Or will it just give me another option to boot the system in Windows 95 AND in Vista? It will damage your …

You can't just download MS-DOS. MS-DOS is a Microsoft product. You can probably buy it though. You can't easily (it is doable, but not easy) install MS-DOS when you already have Vista installed. MS-DOS will screw up your Vista install. You will need to 1) backup everything, 2) install MS-DOS, 3) …
