AW: Dos Box XP

[Stefan Woehrmann]

Hi Sergio, Jerry and Software - Experts,

thanks to your advice I managed to run SW44 under Windows xp -

Can you give your comment to the following problem please ?

In general I feel not as secure running the programm under XP compared to
Win98 - I am busy to write a German installation - procedure ;-))

Although my computer is pretty fast - the commands under XP get fullfilled
with some delay - especially moving symbols seems to be a difficult task for
the computer and holding the key for moving to the side - the symbol would
move after I had already lifted the key for several seconds.

Two to three times this caused a breakdown - so my whole job on this new
file got lost  ;-(( .

I cannot follow Jerrys instruction because there is no way ( at least I know
of)  to type this backslash within the dosbox-window - once the program has
started with Z:\>

How about others ? My DOS - commands ar all English - so no German version -

I can switch to C:\ with the Editor - program within the DOSBox.conf  file

We can change the memory - Is there any effect to change it from 4/8  to
12/24   or anything else ?? - my sw folder contains more than 700
iles  -???

[dos]
# Setting a memory size to 0 will disable it.
emssize=12
xmssize=24



[autoexec]
# Add here the lines you want to execute on startup.
mount c c:\SW
C:
cls


My last question - is anybody fom the list in contact with the specialists
who created DOSBox ?
Perhaps they could give some explanations why there is only one file in the
"file - window"

or about some other problems like problems with screenshots ? I get orange -
black - or grey in black --??


But that is not the biggest problem becaus we can open Windows Explorer in
the background to read the exact names of the 730 files that are stored
there (71,2 MB)

Thanks for your support

Stefan ;-)

Thank you Jerry and Valerie,

Just a little bit information. When you install DosBox in your computer he
creates a new folder named DOSBOX. In this folder you can find a file named
DOSBOX.CONF you can open it using Windows NotePad or another similar text
editor program.

Open it ! Find follow command:

fullscreen=false

If you change to True for DosBox program run with FULL SCREEN

And after [autoexec] instruction in this file you can add commands like:

MOUNT C D:\SW

For example.

I hoppe be helpfull !

Best Regards

Sergio
