It's been a while but I think I got it running in DOSBox.

Perhaps your disk is damaged Jasef, any scratches on it?

Why E: for your CD? some of these old games are fussy that way. What are your mounting commands?

I used E for my CD drive with no problem Mr. C. That doesn't look like a DOSBox problem to me.

Still, I'd like to see Jasef's mount commands. Perhaps he didn't use any of the CD-ROM switches, etc.

that
PWPW in the status window

is potentially worrying.

Please post your mount lines.

I'll try that when I get home from work. Makes sense, though.

Also heed the warning about mounting the root of you system drive. Create a folder to mount as DOSBox's C: drive.
