I have Windows ME and I have installed the latest version of dosbox but everytime I try and run it, it loads and then window keeps closing. I have a mouse pluged in unlike the other chap with a same problem but it still wont work. Please help if you can because I'm dying to play Sensible Soccer again.

Try opening a DOS window and launch DOSBox from that window, so you can see any error.

their are costom patchs out theiron the net for turning win98me in to win98

the mods add
"a" shut down in to dos mode
"b" dos boot floppys
"c" safe mode "hit f8 " when computer starts . boot to command line

btw win98me uses dos 8.0 and dos 8.x has big problems in dos

you could try win98se. dos 7.x and has way less problems is dos but more in windows ...can you say blue screens or death city
win98se as well is more hardcore
overall if your not hardcore a bout windows stuff but you would like more dos on your win98 i would say go for the win98me patchs

here i did some homework for you or any one intersted

😵

btw i haven't tested this patch my self so use at your own risk...
if it bugs out your OS i dont wana hear a bout it 🤣
tip use a old hd "like 400 megs" and install win98me on it first if your freeked by playing with stuff like this & with playing with windows settings...
better that then killing off your os
that or backup your stuff etc
