Hmmm.... sounds like a classic DOSBox problem.

I have a similar problem with my game that I also have on CD... but if it's the one you dowloaded from this site, it might be a memory error (even though it appears to have nothing to do with this)... try to allocate some more with (and again we go to....) d-fend+dosbox.

I'm having troubles to configure the *meep*in' Virtual PC 2004 ...
ok ... i install it , create a virtual disk with MS-DOS...
than i try to install FreeDOS, create a FAT32 partition...
now i reset the "system" and try to boot from hd, but it appears "partition signature != 55AA"... the only way to use FreeDOS is on safe mode, but i can't do nothing in safe mode... :ranting:
and than? what i have to do?

My two cents:

After owning it on CD years ago I downloaded this last night from here, and I LOVE it. I already have my PC setup to dual boot when I start it up. I can choose XP (which I use for the internet, music, work, etc) or ME (where I have my older games which don't run that great under XP,) and have my hard drive split into two seprate drives, one for each OS.

So, I moved the zipfile to my ME drive. Went into ME. Unzipped it with the standard "Extract to..." command from the right-click menu. Put the unzipped files into a folder called CN (like the old original game used to go into.)

Open MS-DOS Prompt from ME (not DOSBox or Virtual PC or anything like that) and expand it to full screen, and type:

C:\> cd\CN

C:\CN> game

Of course I ran SETSOUND.BAT first and chose appropriate sound drivers, and it runs absolutely flawlessly. Just in an MS-DOS shell under Windows Me. I think the problems most are having are to do with Windows XP.

Maybe you could try that...?

You might need to reconfigure the game's internal setup to match values in Dosbox.conf.
