Took me forever to figure this new DOSBox emulator out. I finally figured how to mount a drive and change it to the correct directory. When I finally entered the exe location...the DOSBox comes up with the following message: "this is a Windows NT windowed executable." No crap. The point of the message? I right-clicked on the properties of the folder and unchecked "read only." Still want launch the .exe file.

Any suggestions? Why the hell is this DOS thing so complicated anyways? Instructions are very unclear as well. It took me over 15 minutes just to understand the concept of 'mounting a drive' and changing directories, etc.
