Can't get DOS games to work

!!!HELP ME!!! · Post by **!!!HELP ME!!!** » Sat Jan 01, 2005 9:48 pm

Recently I have been getting back into DOS games. One day I was goingto play Hugo's House of Horrors but it gave me that annoying 16-bit MS DOS Subsystem message. Strange thing is that it was working fine last time i played it. I have Windows XP (As you might have guessed). So I decided to download this DOSBOX, but I can't seem to get it into the Program Files directory. It says cannot find C:\Program and cuts off. So then I went into this forum and read about going to properties. I have a problem with that too. When I right-click on the .exe file for the game (IT WILL DO THIS ON APPLICATIONS TOO) it boots me out of My Computer. NOTE: I MEAN THE HARDDRIVE NOT THE COMPUTER ITSELF.

Does anybody know if there is a patch or anything that I can do. PLESE HELP ME OR I MIGHT NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY HUGO'S HOUSE OF HORRORS EVER AGAIN

P.S. Does anybody know where I can get the full version of Stonekeep?
I have the preview

THere is a bug in windows XP somewhere im guessing that deletes these files..

I suggest browsing microsofts site and then retrieving new files

ive had that problem too to fix it you need to write down the file the sub system says is missing then go to your repaire folder in the windows dir and copy that file backinto you system 32 folder then shut down and restart hope this helps you
