Dos games with Vista x64? Best process

DosBox, or some other virtualisation solution are definitely going to be the only way to go.
64bit Windows won't run 16bit binaries.

I think I might have to use DOSBox, as thats the only one that seems to work for everyone. Although it sounds quite complex, everyone here has made me know the knowledge that you need to be able to run it, as before I would have just given up. Its a shame that DosBox is not more user friendly, but nothing else out there can match it

There's plenty of documentation to get you going though, or as I said earlier you can use one of the many 3rd-party frontends which do most of the hard work for you.

Something to do most of the hard work for me sounds good. Whats the best frontend program to do that?

The one I used to use is DBGL, which is pretty powerful but should be easy enough to figure out. I still recommend having a glance through the DOSBox wiki though, reading the basic setup guide will help you no end.
