Wow, thanks for such a fast response. I'm using DOSBox 0.72 (latest version). I have my actual CD drive mounted as D: in dosbox as a cdrom. After installing the game when I attempt to run it I get the message "Couldn't find CD-ROM!! Make sure your drive is turned on and your CD-ROM driver is loaded. press any key to return to dos.

The CD-ROM is properly mounted since there is no problem installing the game from the CD-ROM in DOSbox. I also tried just copying the CD into a folder and mounting that folder as the CD ROM, but after installing from there attempting to run the game just turns the screen black.

Either way, the options to config the sound never actually come up since the game never really starts.

Exact syntax of MOUNT commands used for your C and D mounts, please.

Is there another EXE, COM or BAT file in the game directory? Run it.

That it installs fine is one thing. That it doesn't recognize the CD-ROM drive is another, which is why I want to know how did you mount it.

This is so bizzare but the game is actually working now *crosses fingers*. My last attempt was when I mounted a folder as the cd rom and before replying I remounted it as the actual cd drive again to copy the syntax for you. Perhaps I'd done something wrong in the original attempt to mount since it is now working. Either way thank you very much for the help and now I can get back to playing my ancient game. Yay!
