Hi, ive just dloaded dosbox installed it so i can play worms united again after too many years, but i seem to be having trouble with it. ive done the mount stuff, when i type in dos4gw it tries to exe the game then comes up with:

dos/4gw protected mode run-time version 1.97
copywright (c) rational systems, inc. 1990-1994
dos/4gw fatal error (1004): syntax is dos4gw <executable.xxxx>

I can install the game with no probs, but i cant play it

what does this mean and will i be able to ge tthe game working?
thanks for any help in advance

nvm i got it working 😁. it doesnt work when i load that file but if i exe the milti file it asks me if i want to play various m/p games, or play a sp game, i select sp and it loads perfectly. thought id add this for anyone else with the same prob

You were running the dos extender executable as-is. It wasn't the right one. You should have issued a dir command before.
