How do I do DosBox? Isn't that the thing that comes up when you try to run it? (I'm not too good with computers). If it is that, it doesn't work.

"The thing that comes up" is DOS, not DOSBox.

Download dosbox here, pick Windows if you're unsure.

Ive been using compatibility mode until recently when i finally realised the advantages of dosbox but, is using compatibility mode potentially harmful to my pc? I thought it was the correct way to run some games but a friend told me that permanent problems can arise from using it. Any thoughts?

No thoughts to post about compability mode it 'cause there are none.
It simply won't hurt your PC.
If your early Win (95-98) game can run on it no problem.
For some really recalcitrant W95-98 games that can't run even using compability use VPC.

For dosgaming: Dosbox is the first way to go, not compability.
And for those rare games that won't run in dosbox, use a port or VPC.
