Im useing D-Fend on a windows XP machine, because I'm inept at useing DOSBox on its own. Whenever I try to start QFG4CD, it says SIERRA.EXE cannot be run in DOS mode. When I try to run it by itself, I get a pop up that says "Windows Titles Not Found" and then the screen goes black a second and crashes to my desktop. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds like you are trying to run the windows exec instead of the dos one, and by the tiles remark...are you running it off the CD or have you actually installed it first?

Running install.exe (not setup.exe) will install the dos version instead. That will work under dosbox given that you mount the CD properly first.

I installed it.
Off the QFG Anthology CD
I think I got it though. I installed it from the main install the first time. I went into the QFG4 folder on the disc and used its own "exclusive" install. It seems to work now.
