Sorry buddy, my precise problem is running this on dos box i mount it then when i try to enter the game it says "a cd-rom device driver is needed to run kyrandia 3..." i have read suggestions of pressing f or putting any cd in the drive but this have not worked. I also have set up a virtual drive with the kyrandia image with no avail. thanks if you can help

To circumvent this problem, you have to mount a CD-ROM drive in DOSBox.

It doesn't really matter whether that's your physical CD-ROM drive, a directory mounted with the -t cdrom argument or an ISO image mounted through IMGMOUNT - any of these will make DOSBox load it's CD-ROM drivers and thus allow the game to run.

mount d [YOUR CD DRIVE LETTER]:\ -t cdrom
Is the most practical, since it also lets you use your real CD-ROM drive in DOSBox. Or you can also use the CDEMU utility that is included with some of the downloadable versions of the game (including the one here, IIRC):

If you like this game you should really get it on CD - the rip isn't anywhere near as good since you're missing out on movies, sweet music, and speech!

I agree on that but the cd version is almost unfindable

I had exactly the same problem you are all having. I actually have the CD though so it might be different. You can try putting any cd in because obviously it needs one, but I just ran mine strait from windows and it worked, no sound though, which leads me to believe the CD doesnt matter as I would have sound from the CD if it did.
You should have seen how happy I was like a kid in a Candy Store!!!!!!

Sorry for got to mention the CD was having the player.ini file prob, I downloaded this copy from here.

You can try running it with VDMSound.

what is VDM? 'insert cd' , means the computer wants him to insert a cd.....like everyone was saying on the last 20 something pages

You said the CD version works for you in Windows, but doesn't have sound.
Try using this to run the game:
