I'm obviously new user of dosbox and I don't understand it at all.. 😁
I have tried to follow these advice:
http://www.commander-keen.com/running-command … -windows-xp.php

"And now you just need to type C:\ and "CD DOSPROG", and you're now in an similar enviroment as MS DOS."

I typed C:\ and it worked. Then I try to type "CD DOSPROG". It says "Unable to change to: dosprog".
Why is it unable to change? What have I done wrong? What can I do to make it right?

sorry, but that guide seems mystifying

after mounting
mount c c:\dosprog
you're already located in c:\dosprog actually

you can't cd to c:\dosprog\dosprog, right?

just start installation or whatever from that c: prompt

I tried that too.. When I try to install that Commander Keen Windows (Vista) says "This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."

And then I can't do anything. I just have to close it. And I have no idea how can I install that game..

I thought I knew how to install.. Installation started well, but:

"File not found on the install disk: ck4sw14.shr
Press any key to quit."

What should I do next? 😁

well you know a msg like system does not support fullscreen mode
or File not found on the install disk
speaks of a different kind of problem
botched installation, defective installer package..

I have no clue what the game in question does\requires
it seems you'll have to check the specific installer's ways to begin with.

Well using my Einsten level intelligence I'd say check the install disk for the ck4sw14.shr file.
