When I try running The Dig.exe, it boots up, but then I get this error message.

I really wish to play this game. I already tried the instructions on how to get DOS games to run on Windows XP and the FAQ's, but nothing.

Help, please?

Also, my OS is XP and I don't know my graphics card. As stated before, the game is The Dig.

Very strange. You can find video card info/etc just in the device manager in XP. (system icon on the control panel)

How are you mounting the game in dosbox? Make sure you're not mounting your entire C drive.

If you can, post all of the steps you take trying to launch the game. This will help us figure out what the problem is.

The Dig... from Lucas Arts?

Nah, you'd be better off with ScummVM. Happy
