Mount lines?
Inputs to run the game?
Include a screenshot of that error screen.

I moved your first message thinking it was a bot spam attack. :/

Unregistered users are not allowed to post images. That's why we can't see it.

What are you trying to show us?

I think I see the problem here, the version from this site wont work in Dosbox without running the right file. Just to be safe, make sure you have not just mounted the U7 folder but the folder that U7 is in. Then you need to run Dosbox.bat.

Emjoy your game...and sign up for an account here.
