Hi all,
Im quite new to dosbox so this might seem like an easy question to answer for most. I've currently got Sensibel World of Soccer 95-96. I use dosbox to run it. problem is im having a real problem trying to save the settings when it comes to sound and controllers. When i try to save the settings it says DOS ERROR - file not found and wont let me play the game using the plug and play controller. Any ideas?

Hey Mik 
Is your problem with saving the settings with DOSBOX, or saving settings in the actual game itself (as in, when you first start up the game)?
If it's DOSBox, you need to open DOSBox.conf used Notepad, then make your changes. Are you using Vista by any chance? If so, you need administration rights before you are able to save it.
And welcome to Reloaded.

Is it just you that uses Vista, or is there other people in your household that use it as well. You may need to ask whoever set up the computer to give you admin rights.
Go to DosBox folder in your Program Files. Double-click on Dosbox Config file. Make your changes, then save it.

in vista you've gotta do this in your local folder, this means, place your sensible word of soccer game inside the folder where your documents are (c:\users\your_account\)
