How the heck do you load a game on DOSbox??? I%26#039;ve tried following directions that look like this:
DOSBox will give you a text prompt where you enter commands.
Now, find the directory containing the game you want to play. For example, lets say the game is in C:\myoldgame
In DOSBox, type:
mount c c:\myoldgame\
This will set the c:\myoldgame directory as the C drive in DOSBox.
Now, in DOSBox, type C:
This will change the directory to your game directory.
You can type dir to get a list of the files.
Your game should have a .exe executable file. Type that file in DOSBox and it will run your program.
but everytime I try this it says the location doesn%26#039;t exist. How does this work????|||Which command gets you the %26quot;location doesn%26#039;t exist%26quot; error?

How would you create the following batch file??? Exact commands please.?
Using Window%26#039;s Vista as the Operating System. How would you create a batch file to do the following:
* change the console color to blue text on a white background
* change the prompt to include the date and a greater than sign
* change the title to CISC105
* set the working directory to My Documents (using %userprofile% environmental variable in the path)
* create a new directory in My Documents, called %26quot;homework%26quot;
* display the directory listing of the subdirectories in the My Documents directory|||In Windows Vista it%26#039;s called %26#039;Documents%26#039; but in Windows XP it%26#039;s called %26#039;My Documents%26#039; but you specified %26#039;My Documents%26#039; so here%26#039;s the batch file for that:

HOW DO I FIX MY COMPUTER? ...bootmgr is missing...please help?
Okay, I am trying to fix a laptop with the %26quot;BootMGR is missing%26quot; problem. Well, I am trying to run the vista recovery disk, I click on repair your computer. I get to the window that says %26quot;system recovery options%26quot; where it tells you to select your operating system. Well, the problem is...there is never any operating systems in the list. If I just click next, i cannot use any of the repair tools, because it says x://source where it should say c://. So anyways, here is my question. If I want to load my driver, because I know there is no problem with my hardware, what is the file name for the windows vista operating system? Or how do I go about finding it manually by browsing through my files? Can I do it this way? PLease help me %26amp; thanks!

How do I use the command that in command prompt is: %26quot;CD C:\%26quot; in C++? I know it should be system(%26quot;CD C:\%26quot;) but it gets confused due to the backslash. So I put two backslashes but then it skips that command. How do I successfully change the directory to C:\ in C++?|||Hm....
Unlike Linux or UNIX, DOS using backslash as path driver.
Remember, C/C++ used \ as special char. I u want to use this char, use with double backslash
Ex:
string strcmd =%26quot;CD C:\\MYPATH%26quot;;|||I answered this question the last time you asked.|||The are two possible ways the above code don work
1. You Compile and Run the Code the System(); in the IDE itself
2. You are in the C:\ directory and you want to change from c:\ to say D:\ using cd d:\
In the first case all you have to do is compile the program and don run in the program in The IDE (TC or Visual Studio)itself ... Exit the IDE and double click your compiled exe or go to dos and type the exe name without exe
The Reason you cant run it in your IDE is that when ever you run a process in dos the control gets transferred to the running process which will overwrite the DOS memory in the RAM by doing so disabling sme part of DOS including all you commands such as cd mkdir which are overwrittem ....at the end of the execution its returned to the original state by set of interrupts... This was due to the 640KB barrier....
in second Case
if you are in C:\ directory say C;\documents and settings\some folder
a cd C:\ Should work A ok ... But if you try a CD D:\ will never work it used to in older version of dos ..... if you want to navigate to other D:\ just do a system(D:) without quotes or anything.......
