You may have had trouble posting a question to the Facebook group if you joined then tried to make a post right away. That's a Facebook thing, to prevent spamming. Facebook groups require that you be a member of that group for at least a few days before your posts will be accepted; otherwise, Facebook dumps the message into a spam folder (which I don't always see). > I have a CD of games from Interplay and when I launch it in > virtualbox/freedos it loads the menu briefly then stops and goes to > a black screen.

I haven't used VirtualBox in a long time, so others will have to answer that part of your question about mapping a host folder (I think you're running Windows?) so it can be seen by the guest (FreeDOS) as a drive letter. What do you do to "launch" the Interplay CD in FreeDOS? Is there a Batch file menu that you run, or something else? _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
