Ok, so I downloaded a classic DOS game (The Elder Scrolls) and since I have shitty Vista, it won't work on my computer.
The site says that I need to get a DOS Emulator, which I have NO idea what it is. So I have the site here, and I can download a emulator thing, but I don't know which one to download.
Here are the options:

DOSBox
Windows 0.72 Win32 installer
FreeBSD package 0.72 TBZ
Fedora Core 0.72 rpm
Gentoo Linux 0.72 portage
Source 0.72 Source
Mac OS X 0.72 dmg (Universal)
OS/2 0.70 exe (OS2)
BeOS 0.63 binary (x86)
Risc OS 0.63 zip
Old dosbox versions 0.58-0.71 source + binary(x86)

Way too confusing for me. There is also a Frontend tab, but I think I need DOSBox, right?

Points will be given to anyone who makes this work!

Thanks

Found this detailing how to setup and use DOSBox
Looks like a small bit of hassle but everything should be outlined here

Oh and the game is a .exe file application, by the way, if that helps.

Download all the files for DosBox,

And then load the .exe and it should ask for a rom, so locate the DoS game and open it,

It should work, if it does, can I please have some points
