:help:

Earth 2140 Doesn't run on my pc...!

Tech-Specs.

-AMD Athlon pro XP 3600 (processor)
-Nvidea Ge-Force 5600 (Video)
-Trust 5.1 Optical Surround Dual Chip edition (sound)
-Windows XP Home + SP 2
-52x CD-Rom Drive
-16x DVD-rom Drive

Problem...
The game doesn't work... I get as far as installing the game, configuring sound, set video mode etc. When i try to run the game it says either "cannot locate cd, insert (game cd) in drive (cdrom)" or "Cannot load Fonts.ws error"

I tried DosBox and VDM sound... Vdm sound booked No results at all
Dosbox can't change the video mode to 640x480 in 16 bit mode (VESA or SVGA Support error or something)

Anyway, The game doesn't work... I know it's ancient but it's a reeeallly cool RTS...

Please help my desperate buttocks...

EDIT: The "Cannot load Fonts.ws error" only seems to occur after i try the cd-rip tactic... (eg. copy the entire cd contents to the root and alter the Game.ini file)
Also worth mentioning, i have two original versions of this game and even with both CD-drives filled it still says that i should insert the game cd...
