Post subject: How to play Dosgames on Windows vista |
|
|
Hi Everyone I'm new here.
I want to play Red alert Retaliation, one of the better Dosgames from earlier:p
If I start it up i get to the beginscreen, but when I want to install it doesn't work.
Anyone knows how this comes?
Thanks in advance
Dave  |

Ah, that doesn't tell us much, is it?
Maybe post:
-> Dosbox version
-> Your mount lines
-> install inputs/choices
-> inputs when trying to run the game
-> exact error message(s) if any.
Detailed please.
Maybe we will be able to tell you where you went wrong if we have some detailed and relevant info from you.
[Also:]
Got your PM, but I don't do private help, help is giving in the forum, so that others can benefit from it if needed.
If I would do private help via PMs I wouldn't do anything else anymore .......
