it confuses my little brain, if you guys could help me i would be happy. thanks for all of you who will help.

I think he's asking just generally how to get it running. I'm working on my own DOSBox tutorial, but for now here's one that should help:

It seems you were able to read his little brain, I wasn't able to.
sorry.

alright i have another problem this is as far as i can get

mount c c:\games

Drive c mounted as local directory C:\oldgames\

Z:\>c:

C:\>cd speedball 1
unable to change to: speedball 1

What is your directory? speedball 1 ? change it in win to spdball1
then in dosbox: cd spdball1


First lesson in dosbehaviour:
RULE : Do not exceed 8 characters, no spaces in your foldernames( or input a _).No windows jinglebells in your folder names, keep them simple and short.

examples:
spdball1
spdb_1
spdb1

[EDIT]
TRICK: when you have mounted your gamesdir input dir<ENTER>
If your gamesdir is mounted correctly you will get a folderlisting.

thanks!

Or, there is a program called "D-Fend" which you can download. It will be like a windows frontend of dosbox, and is really easy to understand. There is a link to it at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
