I've followed the beginners guide and have norton commander running in dosbox0.74 Hi guys i have a problem trying to play Simtower and install windows 3 without a problem.ĭuring the Simtower setup i am unable to enter a name and therefore it wont install. What am I doing wrong? What can I do to run the game? Many thanks! It seems like a vicious circle - game doesn't recognize I have Windows, Windows doesn't recognize I have the game.
If I try to run the game without calling windows.bat, I get the error message "This program requires Microsoft Windows". The game I'm trying to run is Ace Ventura, I've read that I need Windows 3 to run it. I mount d d:\games\dosboxgames (where I unpacked both the windows pack and the game I want to play, without any subfolders)
Upon pressing any key the message pops up again, and again, and again into infinity, so the only thing to do is close Dosbox.Ģ. If the file does not exist, try running Setup to install it or remove any references to it from your SYSTEM.INI file. Make sure that the PATH line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file points to the directory that contains the file and that it exists on your hard disk.
"Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows. Windows 3.0 (includes versions 3.1 and 3.Hi, I've just downloaded the pack and unpacked in my dosbox games folder, but I get the same message as mentioned by someone before:.To get Windows before 3.0 to run, you must set the DOS version to a pre 5.0 number.ģ.0 does not need this, and will run with DOSBox's default setting of 5.0.
The overall status of Windows is that it can work (to a degree) but this level of compatibility varies version to version. Windows makes heavy use of system hardware so while it executes, there is still a lot of work to do in making each aspect of it work. While Windows is not a game, the ability to run windows opens up a new library of games that cannot run from the command line. It is a graphical shell as well as a thin Operating Environment (not quite an operating system, but close) for applications to share information and interact with certain hardware (like Sound Cards, Printers, Networking (in later versions), Mice etc). Windows is the the shorthand name usually referring to Windows 3.11 (or Windows for Workgroups 3.11).
