I am a user of SierraHelp.com sierra game installers. Every game I install using their installers, crashes, after the game is installed. I am using Windows XP Pro I would post the pictures that come up, when I try to load the games, but this site doesn't allow the size they are. Any help would be appreciated.

Moved to Dosbox forums. Please post Dosbox questions in the Dosbox subforums.

As for screenshots, please resize the image or load it to imgur or something like that. Most likely crop the screenshot to only show the relevant window instead of your whole desktop.

I am not sure where the "Dosbox subforums" are on here. Also not sure on how to "resize" pictures. I am NOT computer savy as some of you are on here, and that is why I am seeking help.

Ok, hopefully these pictures give some idea on what is going wrong and why the games crash on me. These pictures should be in order.

All the games play just fine. No crashing at all. But the point is, for me to be able to use the shortcuts, that either Sierrahelp's site creates or that I do, and that's when the crashing occurs.

So you're telling me that no one has ever had this error happen? You guys never heard of this error?

The shortcuts are mostly created with the installers from the SierraHelp website. So how do I go about fixing them, so they no longer crash?
