I get this error everytime I try to load a game. I don't understand it. I read through the guides on here and found nothing to help me. I also went through and tried to remount etc. and nothing. Anyone come across this and is willing to help.

Thanks
PHX

Should probably add I'm running Windows Vista.

Would you want to eat dog food? 🤣

It's a Windows NT program, not a DOS program.

It would help to know what game and the reason you think it should run in DOS.
Otherwise just run the program from windows.

It's Atomic Bomberman and I believe it's a dos based game: Since it came from a Dos Game site.

Maybe we shouldn't pretend I'm stupid, let's just assume it at this point.

Atomic Bomberman is a game by Interplay for the PC that was released in 1997. It was the first original Bomberman game to be developed for Windows

Double click the executable. Does the program start?

I get some cracked out error:
The instructions at 00000000 referenced memory at 0000000
This memory could not be read from

Click on OK to terminate the application and your life. (I added the last part.)

So it's not a DOSBox problem. Ask for help on the site you downloaded the game from.

I would but they are real assholes.

Thanks for the help in telling me what it's not, that does at least tell me where I need to be.

I hope I mess up something on Dosbox in the future so I can get more help from you.

Great. That's one common issue with downloaded games. 50% of the time they are broken.
