Okay, thank you, are you sure you had created the accounts, because thats the only files it would not be able to find.  :) I've added an update where if the account is not there then you cannot continue in the hosting or joining process, which was silly of me to not have added it in the first place.

I'll look into it, download the video for what it is meant to look like.
Did you create the accounts seth and red and do they have character files located in data\accounts ?
And what version of DOS are you using?
Must be 5.1.2600 or above.  ;)
I tested it on my laptop obviously, in a different directory and it worked fine.
