Well, I finally could install Windows 1.0 in DOSBox with mouse support and everything, but the problem is that I can't run any app once I'm there.
The following error jumps up: "Cannot run <exectutable name>". And the icon that accompanies that message is replaced by a black box. Any help?
EDIT: If anyone has the same problem, just change the reported DOS version to 3.30 and it will work just fine!

Man, I thought I was gonna get at least some help. Thanks still.
EDIT: Nevermind, I solved it. Setting the reported DOS version to 3.30 did the trick.
