qbnz.com under the software section has always been the best for me.

What veresion of windows are you running? If its Winshit Xp, i dunno, but with others right click on the EXE and when it promts for any directory, just leave it blank. it will give you some crap when you run it, but just press ok.

To save the settings for the DOS programs, such as memory, fullscreen, terminate at end, etc..
