Do the mouse and keyboard otherwise appear to be functioning normally? Are you running anything in Windows 3.1 that requires you to double-click, in which double-clicking works properly?

When you say it "navigates folders", are you referring to folders in the Windows 3.x File Manager, the program groups in Program Manager, or something else? Are you using some flavor of "Packard Bell Navigator" ? http://toastytech.com/guis/pbnav.html

With EE from Gog the setup asks for newer version of windows. With copied folder from the installed EE from gog, it asks for the same DLL files. When you said "I didn't use some preinstalled files in a folder", I assumed you were using an original Empire Earth CD. If you are using the GOG version, …

Mr. Leilei is most likely correct. The original release of Diablo 2 used DirectX 7 ( http://home.scarlet.be/~tsc87278/d2/d2/minreq.htm ); that image you posted appears to relate to the version currently available from Blizzard. I installed EE and no it doesn't come with these DLL's. It seems …

That's definitely not a DOSBox thing. You probably have something else running on your computer that is responsible for generating those icons – possibly some sort of speech-to-text software, judging from the microphone. Also, while it is nice that your 33-year-old Pascal program runs in DOSBox, …

Your first post talked about SimCity Classic, and now you are talking about SimCity 2000. This is getting confusing. Doesn't the Windows version have its own menu for disabling music?

So, can you get anything running on your GeForce right now? Are programs that can run on the Voodoo2 the only programs that work? Perhaps you should try re-installing the GeForce drivers.

DOSEMU relies on unique features of the Linux kernel; there is unlikely to ever be any clever mashup of DOSBox and DOSEMU. (I have the impression that those unique features might be on the verge of being depreciated in favor of improved security.) But that is a subject for another thread.

Floppy drives are generally either 3½ or 5¼. I assume you mean the latter. I specifically spent way too much money on a drive that was already black in color to match. Sometimes it's pretty easy to pry off the exterior plastic parts and swap them with the plastic parts of another drive, though I can …
