Hello Everyone,

Some Time Ago I installed DosBox 0.74 to run a set of GW-Basic programs for Family Tree Data on a Windows 10 computer.

That Computer has become so slow that I can't use it anymore, and I have installed DosBox 0.74-3 onto a Windows 11 computer.

I have copied all the Data, the Basic Programs (and GW-Basic) from the old computer into the same file structure, I also added my AutoExec lines from the 0.74 config file into the 0.74-3 config file, but it does not work correctly on the Windows 11 Machine.

Have I missed some key steps in this process ?

What I am seeing is that the GW-Basic Program seems to load up, but it does not autorun. When I manually issue the Run command it runs but I then get a file error, that seems to indicate that some of my Mount Statements have not worked correctly.

Any ideas what I might be able to do to get it running like it used to on the Windows 10 machine ?

Hoping that someone can help me sort this out.

This is what I added to my Config file:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.

Set First="YES"
mount a c:\dosboxft\dbprograms
mount b c:\dosboxft\dbdata
mount c c:\dosboxft\dbdata\ord
mount m c:\dosboxft\dbsortspace
mount d c:\dosboxft
gw-basic a:menu1/s:256/f:6

I Get this error:
120 OPEN "b:PERSFILE" AS #1 LEN = 256

Illegal function call in 120

FamilyTreeMan.
