I DLd the DOSBox and the Window converter. The program installs OK but it won't boot. It keeps complaining about files not being compatible. I've selected the Window mode. Could the fact that it's running in Win 7 (64 bit) be the problem? The version I DLd has the 0.65 version of DB. I tried to follow the readme file instructions.

I'm not clear on what the "Windows Converter" or "Windows mode" is, but Railroad Tycoon is a DOS game so no it won't run on Windows 7. I'd guess it won't run on anything since perhaps Windows 2000/98. You should be able to install it using DOSBox though.

I'd guess from your comment on the incompatibility complaints that you are trying to run it via the Windows command prompt rather than within DOSBox. Try checking the 60 Second Guide here for help with the setup...

If you can provide more specific details of the steps you are taking folks might be better able to help you specifically.
