| | Re: running old games Well I dont play games much .. but I remember using it some time ago with a program... and I dont think something bad can happen.. when it says "mount" it means that it just makes the drive accessible to the dosbox. Ok if you run a dos virus in there.. sure harm can be done! lol... but the mount function itself I think is harmless "winnie95" <winnie95@tbdis.co.uk> wrote in message news:6E02AD97-BDF6-4A3C-9009-7B8984FB7BC9@microsoft.com... > I,ve just downloaded dosbox and read readme but am worried about harming > computer by "mounting drive". > "Tiberius" <James@tiberius.kirk> wrote in message > news:uwWvAXMmHHA.3588@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> hello.. you can try dosbox that is a very good dos emulation program for >> dos programs and games: >> >> http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ >> >> tell me if this helps >> >> >> "winnie95" <winnie95@tbdis.co.uk> wrote in message >> news:047CC1A1-F9EB-4D7A-B987-63E47CD9C376@microsoft.com... >>> Any idea on how I can play my old games on vista home?
