This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computers system information to see whether u need an x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program then contact the software publisher.

Yes, DOSBox is the only way to play DOS games on Vista, especially 64bit.

The easy method of getting it to work would be to extract Dune2 to C:\Dune2 on your computer.

Then open DOSBox and type:

Code:

mount C: C:\Dune2

C:

Dune2.EXE (or whatever the EXE is called)

To gain more speed try Ctrl+F12 during game play.

Enjoy the classics! ;)
