I don't know if this is the right area for this. I created a program to run under Dos, Compiling with Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 I've been using Dosbox-x 2025.02.01 and even tried Dosbox 0.74 but when i ran it I'm getting an error trying to load in video drivers. I have confirmed it IS in the current working directory. I even created a little test program to try and load different vga and vesa drivers but still get the same problem. So I'm not sure if this is a coding error on my part or a quirk of DOSBox. I have the error below and I'll paste my code snippet too. I found the svga driver on github by jharg93 .

DOSBox-X Error:
