Hi,
I've been light-playing through the Elite series the last couple of days, and now I downloaded Frontier: first encounters (the shareware version, 1.1 remastered) to try it out.

Of course, since my new computer is designed for Windows Vista, and HP doesn't put their drivers out on their homepage, I use DOSBox (Yes, I know, but it's the GAME, not the emu).

I mount my FFE directory like I do with all my (working) games, and I use the file FIRSTENC.BAT in the FIRSTENC dir. The intro movie starts to play, and if I press any key, it restarts. if I press a key a second time, the game locks, and lots and lots of errormessages starts rolling past so quickly that you can't read them.

Eventually, the messages stop, but then, all there is is strange symbols that looks like parts of the ingame cursor, lots of zeros and the text "Reference to a page you don't own".

I've tried downloading from different pages, i've read all the FAQ's I could get my hands on, and I've tried starting all the .exe's, .bat's and .com files in the directory.

Is there something wrong with my copy of the game? does anyone else have this problem?
I'd appreciate a quick answer, because from the intro, this game looks fantastic.
PS: sorry for the bad english (if any 😁 )
