Use DOSShell it uses dos-box to play. Just "add" the game you want to play and start it .

Or, if you just want to use dos-box, copy/past shortcut of dosbox.exe.
Right-click on the shortcut and select properties.
You'll see this if you installed it to partition C."C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.65\DOSBox.exe"This will just open dos-box. But if we add something: "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.65\DOSBox.exe" "C:\Games\Zeliard\zeliard.exe" -exit -fullscreenIt's how i use it. The "C:\Games\Zeliard\zeliard.exe" is the file you want to run. "-exit" will exit dos-box when the game quits. "-fullscreen" will automaticaly change to fullscreen when running the game (you can change it in game if you click ALT + ENTER). If your Zeliard folder is located somewhere else, you'll have to change it.

PS: If you want to save screenies/movies/sounds you'll have to change the "captures=capture" in dosbox.conf to somewhere else, like "captures=C:\MyZeliardFiles", since Vista has max "security" and won't let new files to be added to "C:\Program Files".

There's no other way than using Dos-box with Vista, since it won't support fullscreen dos applications.
Thanks for reading my "very" easy guide! (If you still don't understand use DOSShell )
