Still the same. Doesn't want to take my CD.

There is the possibiliy to play from CD directly; doesn't work as well.

are you sure you installed the game in dosbox? not in vdm sound, dosbox. everything in dosbox. and what does it say if you run the game directly from your cd?

Yes, I installed everything in Dosbox.
Just to be sure I deleted everything and re-installed.

And when I try to run directly from CD it still says ...

Searching For CD-ROM ...
Unable to locate CD-ROM with Millenia on it. Make sure that
the disc has been inserted into your CD-ROM drive.

End of story.

Silly question: Is the CD drive designated d in windows? If not, change the last of the 2 "d"s in your mount command to match the designated letter.

Well it seems that you've done everything you could, I had a similar problem with the CD version of Mega Man X for Dos. Try as I might I could not get it to run. I found out later that the CD was jacked up and that it would not even run on a Pure Dos system. what I'm trying to say is that the CD may be shot, and that may be the problem. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Still, I don't get it.

It's by the way not a pure Millenia cd. It's an old CD from a PC magazine and it used to run on my 90 Mhz PC back then. The CD itself is not scratched or something (strange thing, concidering how often I needed to get a new StarCraft CD); but still - it does not work.
The question if I install the game with the right drive letter seems to miss the problem; if this is the issue I would just need to install and run at once. But that's not the case. AND the game does not run from the CD itself.

Somehow DosBox is not convinced that my cd actually IS a cd.

Would anyone by the way have a clue how to properly run it with VDMSound? I keep getting this annoying EMM problem.

Also crossed my mind, but he said he installed 'in dosbox', so the drive letters must match.

It's or what ay2516 said, or a bad copy -(the game does a CD check, and looks for the correct label amongst others)-.
