Hi! I'm trying to use a pre-set up download of DOSBox that includes a copy of windows 3.1, Catz, Dogz, and Oddballz. I wanted to put DOSbox in my games folder on my D:\ drive instead of in my :C\ drive, so I changed all the directories in the CONFIG.sys, CONFIG.B~K, AUTOEXEC.BAT, AUTOEXEC.B~K, & dosbox.config to match where the folder currently was. When I open DOSBox, windows 3.1 loads and works and has all the sounds. However, WINDOWS\MAIN.GRP, STARTUP.GRP, AUDIOSOF.GRP, GAMES.GRP, ACCESSOR.GRP, MAZZEWSD.GRP, MAZZEWSD.GRP, and ODDBALLZ.GRP don't load, so it's unusable. Does anyone have any solutions? I've been browsing reddit and google and couldn't find anything. I am very new to dealing with computers so any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Dosbox: Portable 0.74-3
OS: Microsoft 10.0.19045 Build 19045
System Typex64-based PC
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz, 1992 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. Q536FD.203, 8/24/2018
