I just intalled DOSBox today and I got it to play Space Quest 4 by running it off the CD (it wouldn't let me run it off the HD). Now when I try to save my game it won't let me it says the specified directory is full or some crap. I tried changing the directory but it won't work. Anyone know what to do?
you can't write on cdrom can't you ?

i tried using the harddrive as a save point but it wont let me.
SQ4 works fine here. Read-only doesn't matter since when you create a new savegame it creates a new file which doesn't have read-only applied (obviously). Try checking permissions on the directory and using the latest CVS.

I'm not sure what you mean by checking permissions or CVS. I have the CD version and I installed it on the HD but when I usd DOSBox it said the file is a Windows file and wouldn't open it. So I set it to run off the CD and it works great but when I go to save it says the directory is full so I looked and it has it at D: (which is my CD-Rom) so I made a folder on my HD and I went to "Change Directory" in Save and I put in C:\Saved Games and it says it's not a valid Directory so Ijust put in C: and it says the directory is full. Any suggestions?
Sorry to double post but does it matter if I haven't installed the game to the HD?
Hmmm, C:\Saved Games is not a valid directory for Dos since you are using 11 character when you should just be using 8.
spaces in filenames aren't appriciated either in dos

Thanks guys! That did it. I'm an idiot. It's been a while since I've used DOS. Gotta get with it.
