holy shit, why do you use dosbox 0.65?
get the newest one and come back then

also, get this and stop using that excrement-ware called internet explorer

I'm a computer conservative! If it was up to me I'd still be using Windows 98.
Yet I still don't understand DOSBox... :mhh:

However, I installed 0,73 now, but it still doesn't work. The flashing and moving has stopped, but it has been replaced by just two colorful dashes... :(
And that's it... Although now it shuts down by itself.

Next thing you'll need: http://www.7-zip.org/
Freeware and really good.
Just saying ....
:whistling:

As for your problem, would you be so kind to:
Post your mount lines.
What you did t'll now when trying to run the game?
Your inputs?
See, That would be helpful info to pinpoint where things go wrong.

What do I need the 7-zip for???


And here it goes:

I start DOSbox.

I type in "mount g g:\abandonware\"
That seems to work fine.

Then I change from Z: to G: by typing "G:"

Then I put in "cd krondor" still seems to be working fine.

And finally, "krondor.exe".

And then... Blank.

Because it's damn good and works as it should be? Because you can't run a simple game and I don't have any problem at all? Because you need help to get a game running and I don't?
Just saying .....:)

Wrong.

Do this:
mount c "g:\abandonware"
c:
cd krondor
krondor

If that still doesn't work
Redownload, get 7zip and be sure to unarchive ALL files in g:\abandonware\krondor.
Follow my instructions, the game is pre configured to run in dosbox, no problems.

*sigh*
If you paid attention and read that part of the guide instead of scrolling through it because "you just want to play the game", you'd find it's there to make some things easier for you.
Yes, it takes 5 minutes longer. It will save you a few minutes every time you run DOSBox, so that instead of endlessly typing in the same commands every time you want to start a game you can just start DOSBox, start the game and concentrate on playing.

Modifying the configuration file involves just changing a few bits of text in it and adding two lines on the end - this way you won't have to type the MOUNT commands in manually every time you start DOSBox.

In the same vein, installing Norton Commander gives you access to a simple but useable interface that will free you from the need of constantly typing in things like DIR, CD or SETUP.

I'm trying to explain things in it as simple as possible, but if there is some part of the guide you can't understand, re-read it and ask me about it.

Edit: nevermind

horseman why do you point him to hour long reading and adjusting norton commander, while he already understands everything and knows how the mount works =l

Because he still apparently doesn't know about autoexec, and NC's user interface makes navigating directories and running programs much easier than if he had to enter everything manually.

yes, that's why he should go through million paragraphs long article with complete newb step by step instructions. to tell him that autoexec lines are located in the end of dosbox.conf
