Hi there!

Everytime i try to start the game "Vision" in DOSBox it stops on a blank screen.
In the second Window appears a Message:
Warning: file creation failed: e:\GAMES\VISION\CON

The Directory CON dosn't exist, but im unable to create a directory named CON. Not in DOSBox, not in Windows.

My System is an AMD XP 2500+ with WinXP Pro.
It seemed that Windows is unable to create this Directory.

Is it only a bug, or are there other ways to start this game in DOSBox?

If i start this game normaly under WinXP the game starts normaly, but there other things in this game won't work under WinXP.

Greetings
Seraphim

CON is a speciall DOS device (console). No file or directory can have this name.
It seems that the game tries to access CON device (not implemented in DOSBOX).
