Are you following the instructions?
Quote:
In order to run the game in DOSBox, you'll need to input the following commands in order:
mount d: c:/kyracd/cd -t cdrom
mount c: c:/kyracd/
c:

Once these commands are imputted, just type in kyracd.bat, hit enter, and enjoy the game!

I was able to get it to work! How do you maximize the screen? I'm unable to enlarge the screen.

Press CTRL+Enter to enter full screen or to go back to windowed mode. You should also edit DosBox configuration and change the following option like this - fullresolution=original - under [sdl], just at the beginning, and aspect=true under [render] for best results.

You're right of course, it's ALT+Enter. Got to use DosBox again anytime soon

I'm running windows 7 x64 and I'm using a fresh install of DOSBox (I haven't configured it in any way).
For future reference, this problem occurs in two situations:
1. You have not mounted the CD subdirectory of the game directory
2. You have mounted the CD subdirectory of the game directory without using the -t cdrom switch

Question what is a -t cdrom switch??

So, I keep having the same problem as Oceanlife..
I have mounted my cd subdirectory properly, (I think) but I have NO IDEA what a -t cdrom switch is, or how to achieve it. And yes, I've searched the site. For 3 days, actually, trying to get this to work. I am allllmost to the point of saying "F this" and just reading a book. (My usual passtime)
So please help a future-possibal gamer!!!

A switch (which may be called a flag, an option or an argument) is nothing more than an extra element you type in after the rest of the command
What I meant is that you're either entering
Quote:
mount d: c:/kyracd/cd
mount c: c:/kyracd/
or
Quote:
mount c: c:/kyracd/
when what you're supposed to enter is
Quote:
mount d: c:/kyracd/cd -t cdrom
mount c: c:/kyracd/
(obviously C:/kyracd may be whatever other directory you unpacked the game to)
