If I download & install a game from the Net I can easily play it through DOSBox. However, installing a came from my CDrom is apparently impossible in Win7. I can eaily do it on my old Win XP puter but not my new Win 7. Is anyone out there able to install on Win 7 using their CDrom?
dos games can be installed on W7 through Dosbox. Other methods are actually very unsafe and asking for disaster, even on older Windows.
Well I sure don't know how! As I said, it was easy to install on XP but what worked so easily there did not work at all on Win7.
Well TY - I know about that & haven't been able to get it to work on my Win 7 as I did on myXP but I will continue trying or pay to download it from 3drealms or Gog.
if you can be specific about the game and post exactly what you are doing we might be able to figure out what's wrong...
Aw shucks TY U anyway I think I'll just install it to my XP laptop & then copy it via flashdrive to my larger Win 7 puter. That'll save everyone loads of trouble!
Aw shucks TY U anyway
Wow.
Well you could have learnt something this way. But try it your way, just be aware that your way is probably give problems in the end when you try to play in dosbox...
Installing a game using Windows and then moving it to another location to run in DOSBox is horribly over-complicating things. You can mount the CD-ROM itself directly from inside of DOSBox and install straight into your pretend DOS C:\ drive! That's actually the way you're supposed to do it...
Sometimes going though DOSBox doesn't recognize any drive I have like when I tired to install Fallout it brought up the FO install which did not recognize any drive. I had a buch of old games in my XP laptop I copied over to my larger Win 7 "Oldgames" file & DOSBoc has worked with them well enough........
