Sorry, must get new glasses - I read it as DropBox not DosBox.

Hopefully someone will come along to answer your question but there is an alternative to getting Stars! running on Win7 although it does not work on all versions. However, you have a one of the right versions. What you could do is install virtual XP, which is a free download from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/

It is a big download but after you have installed it you can open a window which is just like XP and install Stars! as you would with an XP computer. The screen will look a bit like this: [img] http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8030/7888289904_9c158b71ef_c.j pg[/img] Which is a screen shot of my PC with the XP window running.

Many players with Win7 are using the virtual XP instead of DosBox.
