I am using DosBox to attempt to run X-Com UFO Defense. I have followed all of the steps according to this guide:
The Newbie's Pictorial Guide To DOSBox
However, once I try to run the application (the last part of step 2) I get an error that I have copied into a microsoft word file and attached here.
Another fact to add about this problem is that I'm having difficulty with this part of the FAQ:
NOTE: If you have problems with launching the game, unrecognizable errors being spit out, saving settings, or having the game drop out while running it, one thing to try is to make sure all the files are not set to Read Only. In Windows, select the folder of the game, right click and hit properties, uncheck Read Only if it is checked, and apply to all subfolders. (Thanks Dominus!)
I have unchecked the Read Only box and done this step, but when I open up Properties again the status has not changed; it is still Read Only. I have even gone to a Microsoft help site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549
and followed these steps, yet I still get the same error.
Does anyone have an idea of what I should try to do next? Please let me know if you need more details about the problem.
