Have down loaded dos box and managed to get the commands to change to C:/ to work but when i try to run the game i downloaded as a zip file i get an error message saying that vista does not support full screen mode. I cannot run Virtual pc due to only having a basic version of vista. is there anything i can do to get dos games to run without changing the windows version i already have installed?

Just run from c file from the DOSBox terminal. You can use some editor for editing the file.

If all other keys are working fine….then it might be issue with your keyboard. And if backslash is working in other operating system(s), then its sure the issue is with keyboard driver.
