Hey guys. I hope this is the right place for this cause this is my first time posting. I'm trying to play an old game (Betrayal in Antara) and I found an old post where it was said that the game runs well under win 3.x in dosbox so I have installed Windows 3.1 in DosBox but whenever i start it up i get the following error messages - Cannot open program-group file 'C:\WINDOWS\MAIN.GRP' Do you want program Manager to try to load it in the future? Cannot open program-group file 'C:\WINDOWS\STARTUP.GRP' Do you want program Manager to try to load it in the future? Cannot open program-group file 'C:\WINDOWS\ACCESSOR.GRP' Do you want program Manager to try to load it in the future? Cannot open program-group file 'C:\WINDOWS\GAMES.GRP' Do you want program Manager to try to load it in the future? As a result, when windows opens up there are no icons that appear on the screen which is going to make it difficult to install my game, and install drivers. Any help would be very much appreciated

Ok, I installed DosBox 0.72, and switched the core to normal but as soon as I switch the core I get this error when I try to open Antara. Win 32s - Error Initialization of a dynamic link library failed. The process is terminating abnormally. also Application Execution Error Unexpected DOS error: 21

I'm gonna go ahead and ressurect this thread because I am also having issues playing Betrayal in Antara. I have succesfully installed Windows 3.1 on DosBox, and have fully installed betrayal in Antara succesfully as well. However, whenever I try to start the game I only get as far as a black screen, and the sword cursor popping up before DosBox freezes and exits automatically. I am not quite sure what is happening as you said it ran fine for you under Windows 3.1 but any troubleshooting would be especially helpful.

I just changed it to the way you suggested and it worked great! I got my sound and graphics drivers installed and everything. Thanks lots DosFreak!
