DOSbox to run 16-bit DOS games in Windows 8

[mobz786]

Hello everyone!
I am currently using Windows 8 Pro.. But i want to run 16-bit application namely Paranoid by Bit Bucket brothers. Its a 45 KB size game, do not run on win 7 or 8.. I dnt want to use Virtual softwares. (onece I install Oracle VM in win 7 and install Win XP, but the game run runs too fast in it i.e in gest OS XP, I also I tried using XP mode in Windows 7, but it didn't run) Later I heared DOSbox. It is small utility, easy to use, but there is one problem, i can't run the game in full screen mode. Below i am posting a picture of that. I wan wondering if anyone could help me?? If it has anything to do with evaluation copy?? Do i need to register DOSbox first? Thanks in advance.

Your Version is a bit old, have a look here:

DOSBox v0.74

...No, you don't need to register, DOSBox is FOSS [Free Open Source Software]. To go full-screen from an active window just hit alt-enter. That's it... Easy right? Good luck with DOSBox... I have got it running several old abandonware games like Oregon Trail and Syndicate, Good info on installation and use can be found here: How To Use DOSBox To Run DOS Games and Old Apps

Cheers!

Necropost award. Sorry but I think the OP is long gone.

Besides, the "Evaluation Copy" is the game not DosBox.
