hi,

I downloaded dosGame Keen5, but it doesn't work on my computer.. it is something with full screen mode, so its said.. does this mean, that the game is not supported in vista? or is an error on game?

tnx for help

You'll need dosbox to tun such games on Vista.

tnx 4 help, but I have another problem: I did everything you said until this: Open dosbox-0.72 folder, look for:
dosbox CONF file, double click on it, open with notepad.
Scroll down to bottom, you will see:
[autoexec]
#Lines in this section will be run at startup

CONF file isn't note pad... it doesn't open..so i can't write there...
what should I do?

tnx 4 answer

and just one thing: I didn't download dosbox from your ''adress'' because I could'n, I clicked 4 dowmload but nothing happened... so I downloaded a pack of emulators from piratBay

there is no option for open with.. there is only ''open''

Do not use such sites for progams, nevah.
Use google and you'll find the home site of dosbox:
http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1
Get it from there, you will have the last build and it's really much safer.

[Edit]
Btw the link in the howto works fine for me, just checked it one minute ago ....

Copy paste what you added under [autoexec].
