I have come to the conclusion I do not like Windows 7. Guess I need to get used to it. I have a hard time finding my way around because it is not set up the same as the past versions. I got used to seeing "Computer" instead of "my computer" but the folders are not even like I see...

I downloaded 0.74. I never had any older version. I have nothing that looks like your image shown. There are no menus or drop downs to choose from. There are no such files in the dosbox file, etc. That's why I get so frustrated. Nothing looks like the screenshots. Yet I can mount the drive and that ...

Windows 7 64-bit
DOSBox 0.74
You lost me on the rest- I just followed the tutorial.
When I try to play the game after settting it up, I get a message stating" this game requires windows".

CHIPS CHALLENGE

I had no problem playing CC in Vista, but now I have windows 7 and have followed all the instructions to use DOSBox and have been unsuccessful in getting anything to happen. Apparently I am doing something wrong. Would really appreciate some help. I love the game and have only once completed all the...
