    It will say that the "directory is full". The only way Fennyariel can fix this is by overwriting or deleting the existing save game files that came with the archive she downloaded.

    That's why I had advised you to make a backup of your save game folder elsewhere. If you need to save more game progresses, you have no choice to back up the save game folder and free up that directory so that you can save more games. Dr Brain isn't made to handle a lot of saved game files in any directory.

    Also, do note that DosBox isn't perfect. That's why Dr. Brain is having trouble saving in other directories.

    So you're saying that saving in Dr. Brain is impossible?

    Not exactly. Here's what you do.

    Go to your Dr Brain game folder and copy all of BRAINSG.### files along with BRAINSG.DIR to another folder. Then after making a backup copy of those files into another folder, you can then delete them from the Dr. Brain folder and you should have more room for Dr Brain to save more games.

    Sorry if my instructions were not so clear last time.

    I'm not seeing that BRAINSG.DIR file and I've never seen a file extnesion that was all number signs before let alone seeing them in my Game folder. Oh wait! Do you mean those file that are lebeled like BRAINSG.016 and whatnot?!

    OMG I got it to save! ;v) I guess that list that comes up is in a special file that I don't know the name of and all the people who made the game filled it up. So all I did was click the Replace button and typed in my own name! ;v)
    Thanx everybody for helping! ;v)
