Morning, all. I assume I just downloaded the latest version of DOSBox.

I type in all the yada yada stuff, and click run, and it does run.

But instead of the game video, I get a load of multiple coloured letters bobbing around on a black screen, but I do get music.

I am running on XP SP3 compatbility, and have also tried it on no compatability, but get the same results.

See attached PNG

Any help would be Awesome.

Cheers, Ben

Try running Install under Dosbox (the one in the SC2000 directory)

OK, I load it like you said, and get the same as your first PNG.

DO I change settings that it shows ?

Because when I say exit, it says it has been installed and to enjoy the game but then get this

The Installer application eventually said what to type in to run the game?
Remember to mount the same directory again when you re-start DOSBox.

If you know a work around that'd be awesome

Are you trying to run the old Windows version?

For Win 7 I heard it's easier to run the Dos version as the windows version isn't really Vista (and better) compatible. Also goto http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 and get the 0.74 release as it's the latest stable release
