I know how to run dosbox, and I use d-fend.

I have tried everything suggested, in varying combinations.

loadfix -d

I updated dos4gw

I have disabled all forms of sound

I still have no idea to make this game work, the screen just stays black.

Is there any way around this? I have tried everything I can think of and nothing! It is so frusterating, it seems that very few people make a reply to people asking help, to the point of ingnoring completely, but would anyone please help me?

Thank you!

sorry, I forgot to mention that the screen loads now if I dont move the mouse at all, I don't understand that though.

Some games work better with older versions of DOSBox, or they don't work at all with the latest 0.65. I think the 0.63 can run almost any game --including this one--, while the 0.65 works most times and as far as I know handles fullscreen better. In http://dosbox.sf.net you've got supporting version and status for each game, see for this one:

Does anyone know how do make my dosbox window larger? It only takes up about 1/4 of my screen, and I would like to use the full extent of my large screen. Any suggestions?

Have you tried the alt-enter? Have you read the dos-box FAQ? Dos-box can be configured to "full screen".

I've been puzzling with Dosbox 0.65, compatible status and VDMS for roughly 2.5 hours now and finally when I reached your post..hehe then I found the solution which made my hair go grey from frustration.
Cheers alot!
Now finally after so many years I can enjoy this fine game once more!^^

Where can I get manual for this game?

Try www.replacementdocs.com, Elena. The downloads are down nearly more often than working, so try later if not successful.

Glad to be helpful, Arminius. ^_^

Aha. Here at the Underdogs, the first link under "Documentation / Extras". Enjoy.
