Use DosBox, runs just fine.

Thanks Raptor but I tried DFend Reloaded but when I try to open the install file it keeps asking for Disk A which I believe is a 5 and a quarter disk. Any idea how to get around this?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you can do with D-Fend, but in that case you should mount the install folder/image as drive A: in DosBox.

I still cannot install TF1942 throught DosBox. It keeps on asking me to insert disk A even if I mount it as disk A. Any chance of letting me know how you got it going or where I could obtain an installed folder of the game. I have the original disks but now have no floppy disk drive to insert them into.

Many thanks
John

So, you have the original floppies but can't insert them? How does does the installer ask you for disk A if you can't insert the floppy in the first place?

I am using a copy I got off the internet from an abandonware site as I have no floppy disk drive to insert the originals.

Hi Raptor,
I have try that but no go, see the problem is that when you try to install it, the program keep asking for the floopy in drive A OR B, as you know modern comp dont have floppy disk drive, and the game itself was download it from emuparadise, so is not from the floppy but from another source, the chalenge is HOW TO INSTALL IT, OR IF THERE IS A WAY TO CHEAT THE PROGRAM, well lets see if it can be done, you guys are the master mind, give us some hint please.
