I am wanting to run Telemagic Contact Manager version 12.5 (DOS version) in DOXbox .74 under Windows 10.
Dosbox installs fine, the mount command works. The folder setup is that the files exist in 2 folders: 1) Tmsysdir & 2) whatever name you give for the other files (database, magic.exe, etc) to be installed into. Telemagic runs fine in Windows 98se & XP. I have tried various mount combinations and Path commands, but no success.

Magic.exe is the executable file. It starts up fine, then stops with message: "Can't find Telemagic system files! Please enter the disk driver letter". There is only space for 1 letter (C, D, E, F, etc). No letter works no mater how what folder a driver letter is mapped to. PLease help

Running non-game applications in DOSBox is generally not advisable.

The folder setup is that the files exist in 2 folders: 1) Tmsysdir & 2) whatever name you give for the other files (database, magic.exe, etc) to be installed into.

You need to mount the folders so that the folders look the same in DOSBox as they do from ordinary DOS. If you want more help, you'll have to tell us more about your "various mount combinations". Path commands will generally accomplish nothing.

Please see the 60 Seconds Guide if you haven't already.
