Hi,
Just started looking at playing some old skool games from my youth and after not understanding how dosbox worked after i'd downloaded it, I kinda worked out to download & successfully use d-fend reloaded which seems to run dosbox inside it (haven't a clue,... it just works!!) and although I get a few games which seem to work such as Eye of The Beholder 2 and Cannon Fodder, the majority of games i've tried to download and play using this don't seem to work and I have no idea why not, no matter which sites you try to download from?
In d-fend, when I click on the games which don't work (eye of the beholder being a particularly annoying one since the sequel is fine!), it appears to load up but at the point where the working games start to play, it just returns to my normal laptop front screen as if i'd done nothing. Wierdly, Syndicate appears to load up, show the start sequence, but then kicks back out like the others when you click to try and play.
Any ideas on what to do to get them to play (I've read guys on here who've played EOB but without sound, so it must work to a point?!), as i'd like to play the full EOB series, expecially since i'm bedbound after an operation on my knee and I need something to cure the boredom!
