    90% of the time the games are already installed so you just need to run the main exe file or sometimes it's a bat file that you run

    just mount the folder that you extracted the game to as the C:\ drive in dosbox

    yeah you would need to go into the folder fully in dosbox

    Mount c c:\users\henrik\desktop would make it so the desktop is C:\ in dosbox so you will still need to go into the folder Fatal Racing (1995)(Gremlin Interactive) then type fatal and hit enter

    instead either rename the folder to something simple like fatal and in dosbox after you mount the desktop type CD fatal then hit enter then type fatal and hit enter ta actually run the game

    at the moment you are not in the correct folder to run fatal so it is not seeing the fatal exe file and giving you the illegal command error

    alt + enter toggles fullscreen and windowed mode, it's a standard windows key combo used in just about every program for windows including homebrew like DosBox
