| BeefontheBone | That's the one. Mine also mounts the DOSProgs folder on my HDD as C:\ then clears the screen and does dir /w so I know what's in there. |

Open up DOSBox.conf (Start > Programs > DOSBox), go to the bottom of the file where it says: [autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. Below that just add mount e -t cdrom e:\ (or whatever your cd-drive is). |

you're right. i mounted one of my hard drives (which doesn't contain Heroes) and it worked. does your dosbox mounts your cd-drive automatically? if so could you tell me how to do it? |

Hmm. maybe it just needs a cd drive mounted - my DOSBox mounts my physical CD drive and heroes didn't mind there being nothing in there. |

i did as you told me, but then it told me it was unable to access my cdrom drive. so i made a copy of the heroes directory (the one extracted) then i mounted one directory as a cdrom drive and went to the other and tried there to start the game and it worked thanks for your help |

@gregor The first one is a DOS game. Did you download it from here? I d/led the archive today and all you need to do is extract the zip contents, then navigate to it in DOSBox. The root folder will contain ANIM, DATA, GAMES, MAPS folders, plus heroes.cfg, heroes.exe, install.bat, install.pif, readme.txt, setup.exe and setup.pif - run setup to set the sound, then heroes.exe to play. EDIT: You don't need to mount anything as a CD drive for this, the archive extracts an installed game. |

why do you need to run heroes in DOSbox??? it's a windows game. Shouldnt' they work under XP? i mean they work on win 2000. |

it doesn't tell me of a missing file. it only says "can't open file:" in the heroes folder there are 2 files and 3 directories: files: heroes.exe, heroes.cfg directories: data, games, maps |
