I am having a horrible time of this. I went to the DOXbox main page and did a download of the version for Windows and put it on my desktop. I tried to open the file and it was zipped, so I had to download WinZip. When I extracted the files from the DOSbox download, they extracted into my folder in Program Files I told it to extract to, but I have looked everywhere and I cannot seem to find and executable file to run DOSbox… HELP! Where is that darned file. The file I downloaded said it was a platform independent version (there was a platform independent, Mac, and i386 version – I chose the platform independent version as the most likely). I also tried to download the i386 version which said it was an executable file, but that didn’t work either… it wasn’t zipped, but I got a lengthy error message from Windows. Can someone please give me the correct download link in response to my problem so I can make sure I have the right one. I got my DOXbox file from the SourceForge.net website which was the link I got from the DOSbox home page Windows link. I am running Windows Vista. All this is so I can run The 7th Guest. I’m starting to think this whole thing is just not worth it. I’ve been using computers since 1975. I used to use DOXBox before and I remember it was pretty easy to use. For some reason, I’m having a heck of a time with this now.
