		+	I have just purchased a Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I am trying to use a program called GCalDaemon to sync my calendars. It works perfectly on my XP machines. I understand the problem is that Win7 will not run dos based programs. I then tried to use DosBox and Dosshell to run the program. Unfortunately, the GCalDaemon program uses a .bat file to call what appears to be a java program or script; there is no .exe file. Neither Dosshell nor DosBox will run the .bat file. When I enter a command at the dos prompt to run the file "standalone-start.bat" it tells me this is an illegal command, or the truncated "standa~1.bat" I am told that this is an "illegal command: java". If I try "wrapper.exe", which I am only guessing is some sort of program to run this, it tells me that wrapper cannot run in DOS mode.
		+
		+	In my searches, I did run across a text file (at http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=220653 entitled "Wrapper script for gcaldaemon" but I have no idea how to use this file.
		+
		+	Is there anything anyone can suggest?
		+
		+	Thank you.

	Help please. I'm trying to run Battle Isle under DOSBox on a Windows7 machine. The Esc, arrow, space keys all are recognised but not the alpha characters. For example, to save the game you type D. Unfortunately D is not recognised. To exit you type Esc followed by Y. The Esc is recognised but not the Y. I've tried binding other keys to the D and Y but to no available. Thanks		Help please.

		+	== Mouse tracking issues in Dosbox 0.74 - Windows 7 XP mode ==
		+	Can anyone help, the mouse pointers are not tracking across the screen, instead they are going around the window borders in either window or full screen modes.

	Hi. I am trying to run "Flight Unlimited" from cdrom. Drive D: is mounted as /dev/cdrom and I can change to the D: drive in Dosbox but a "dir" command gives file . not found. What am I doing wrong.
