Backslashes don’t work- press CTRL+F1 and a keyboard should come up to allow you to modify what each key does. Press add on the selected key to change what the key does.

Unable to run games:
First, find the folder you installed your game in (for example “C:\DOSGames\GrandPrix\”).
Secondly, type “mount c [insert name of folder the game is installed in]” and press enter
Thirdly, type “c:” and press enter.
Fourthly, find the name of the .exe file that runs the game (for example “gp.exe”) and type the name of the game (don’t forget to have “.exe” on the end) and press enter.
On a side note, if you have multiple DOS games in different folders, use the folder that links to the different game files for “mount c”, in this case “C:\DOSgames\” and after having typed and entered “C:” type “cd [insert name of game folder here]“, and press enter. Now you just do the fourth stage (find the .exe file) and press enter and you’ll be playing.

Installing Dos or Win98 as a dualboot is a great idea if you have the luxury of getting sound, mouse and graphics drivers for the system, wich many units nowdays don’t have. Stupid thing they don’t support running DOS 16bit apps in vista and windows 7…

reboot your computer and you are done!
