I tried to load Privateer wing commander through dosbox but it said copy failure for some of the files, so i tried to copy them directly instead of going through the install and it still says copy failure, the files are Priv.tre and rf.tre, I have the original versions from origin, together on the same disc (Rightous Fire and Privateer) I am running Windows Vista as my OS (which is prob. my first mistake) Why didn't I invest in an I Mac? on a Dell Dim. C521 also I checked the status and it says that the file creation failed for some reason. I`m not that good with computer language or even what I`m doing so any help would be good.

Is this a CD? If so try copying them off of the CD in Windows onto your hard drive without using DosBox.

yes its on a cd but I copied it directly from the cd to windows but windows is insisting that it wasn`t installed correctly and it won`t work in DosBox when I try to locate the file it says unable to change to privater. I have no idea whats going on.
