Hello! I just downloaded simon the sorcerer 2 and playing it on Dosbox. Everything is working perfectly but whenever I try to save my game it says "Save failed. Disk error"....

How do I fix this?!?!? Playing an adventure without being able to save your game is hopeless :S

Check if the files in the game directory don't happen to have the Read-Only attribute set.
If not, add -freesize 700 parameter to your mount command.

How do I add -freesize 700 to my mount command?

do you mean type this: mount c c:\simon -freesize 700
