Answer» I downloaded and paid for "lode runner, the legend continues" by Sierra. I am having problems getting it to finish installing. I read about and downloaded "DOSBOX", but have no idea what to do with it. my os is xp professional. this is killing me. I finally find lode runner and cant play it.Ok this may take a minute...
Ok first thing install Dosbox... LETS pretend you have DONE that.
Now you need to make a folder for your games. I call mine 'oldgames' create a folder called oldgames and save it to the C drive. So when you click on Computer you will see on your hard drive a folder named you guessed it oldgames.
Now save your game into that folder. Make sure it's name is less than 8 characters.
Now start up dosbox
type mount c c:\oldgames
type c:
you should now have C:\
type CD yourgamesname cd means change directory then put a space and type in the games name that you have saved in oldgames. (no longer than 8 characters)
It should then look like this C:\yourgamesname> You have now changed the directory.
Ok the most important bit. The game must have a .EXE file. Type in the name of that file not the .exe bit just the file name. And............. BINGO! Jobs a goodun.
Let me know if you need some more HELP.
