Can this game run proplerly on WinXP? If so, how? After installing it, I get a screen that says something about a CD. Should I burn the disc instead of using a virtual drive? Also, can it run on windowed mode?

The only way to run it in a window is DOSBox.

It should work in plain XP, though without sound effects. Dunno with this game, but sometimes games want the disc to be in the first CD drive (with the lowest drive letter).

If you're using VDMSound, you need to activate MSCDEX emulation.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get this game to work, but having problems. I'm currently using Windows 7 but attempting to play the game using dosbox. However, every time I try to run the exe file, I get a notification saying something about the CD I presume. I've already mounted the image and burnt it onto a disc, but still no luck getting past the initial screen.

Note that you have to mount the CD in DOSBox properly as a CD-Rom drive. Add the option "-t cdrom" (without quotation marks) to the mount command.

Do I have to mount the CD rom drive seperately? I usually just mount the game directory. I use this command

mount c c:\night

Also, is the CD rom directory correct?

The image shows d:\night\ on my PC. Perhaps it's meant to be d:\ to access the files?

Mount your virtual C: in dosbox and your CD as D:

I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow you. Would you guys be able to show me the command line on dosbox for me?

I've burnt the game onto a CD which is D:\

For the installed game directory it's c:\Night

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Then this is the line you have to add:

mount d d:\ -t cdrom

That virtual C: mount can get you in troubles, Win7 absolutely does not like programs that write on C:, to avoid all kinds of protection problems read and apply:

And yes, you must mount also your CD, or use imgmount to mount the image directly in dosbox as CDdrive D:

Hey guys, yeah I've added mounted the cd rom drive and still no luck, I still get the screen at the start where it just shows a picture of a CD as well as a female character.

Is it perhaps the directory I installed the game into?
