i need help getting great naval battles north atlantic to run on DOSBOX .74

I can play a scenario but not a campaign. When I click the load button for a campaign, it always drops back to DOS with the following error:

initcount = 8
FILE Fail

Can anyone shed some light on this? thanks.

Actually the scenario runs for a couple of minutes then has the exact same error. Thanks.

are you sure you installed the game correctly ?
Often file errors are the result of wrong instalations

Well, all the files are in one directory. Its an old DOS 6.x game. And it does run for a couple of minutes on a scenario.

Make sure you have a subfolder named "SAVE" under the game folder. Without that subfolder, the game errors out when loading a campaign.
