please read the readme
if you did read it, please state so.

i did read the readme i cant make sense of it but i did read it

Did you read the stuff around
"Q: I can't type \ or : in DOSBox."
in the readme? Where's the problem?

just read it thnx i am noob on this

No problem, just ask but be more descriptive with the problem if it's still unclear.

I'm doing every everything i can and it still wont work' i'm getting sick of this.

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

well that doesnt help because i cant do step 4 on wards because i still cant type : and \

Edit dosbox.conf and put the mount commands in there.

just 2 minor problems with that where in the config file do i put it, and when i save the config file vista wont let me save it. The only way i can save it if i change something is if i save it as a txt, will dosbox still work if i do.

I'm editing the dosbox.config file using notepad if that helps, maybe im using the wrong the wrong program.

well I have Vista too
I edit/save the config using notepad
no problem

as to where to put changes
well it depends
the autoexec section is obv. for things to be... autoexecuted

as for the keyboard are you allright with it now ?

I don't know what your keyb. layout originally is either.

my original kyboard layout is United Kingdom

Even with a UK PC you should be able to edit textfiles.

it wont let me save over the orginal config it keeps giving me an error message saying something like cannot create file.

Then open the file with admin rights.

And my 60 seconds guide clearly contains a paragraph that begins with

OBS: The DOSBox 0.72 installer is not Vista-aware and installs the configuration file inside the Programs folder, and that leads to a lot of problems.

Now, if you really had read my guide you would 1) have known this, 2) have known how to work around it. So please sit down, and read out my guide again - this time read it out loud and listen to your own voice.

did it mounting is complete thank you all for your help
