Hello, i currently use Windows 2000 and when playing old games DOSBOX.
My problem is the Game Quest for fame which requires both DOS and Windows 95/98.
When i start it in Windows it say "This program req. DOS"
When i start it in DosBox it say "This program req. Windows"

How do i emulate Windows in DOSBOX?

Is there any tool or so?

Thank you for any help you can give

This is really strange, check that you are not starting two different executables (I think you do - different one in every system - you need DOS executable for DOSBOX !!!).

If not then it is probably a Windows program which is not liked by the newer Windows (though I have never seen "This program req. DOS" in such a situation - therefore I ask you to check precisely what file you are running!).
You can install W3.1 in DOSBOX as normally. Search DOSBOX forum for information about limitations of Windows support in DOSBOX.

Post next time in DOSBOX Games/Apps if you have DOSBOX related question.
