I did everything step for step as instructed and it still doesn't recognize C drive... Says directory doesn't exist...

...I hate computers.

maybe you used wrong commands? where is the game located on your hard drive? i will tell you exactly what do you have to type

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Lands of Lore

Is the address, have it unzipped already.. not sure why there are spaces in it though.

->mount c c:\docume~1\user\desktop\landso~1
->c:
->setup.exe; choose soundblaster
->lands.exe
dont forget to ->toilet sometimes

Ok... at this point either i'm a complete idiot or the program isn't working right...

I type in exactly as follows:
mount c c:\docume~1\user\desktop\landso~1

and what results is:
Directory c:\docume~1\user\desktop\landso~1 doesn't exist.

Z:\>



am I doing something (else) wrong still?

Just create a folder with ONLY 8 letters, like landslore, place the game in it, mount the folder and play the game. If you're operating in DosBox with a folder that has more than 8 letters, you can see only 6 letters of it, following with ~ and a number, but the number is always different. So it's better to use folders with only 8 letters for games that are to be played in DosBox.

Ok I am half way following what you mean... I made a folder in my documents titling it LandLore, and copied all the game files into that file, now though i'm still not sure how to use DOS to get this to work. I'm typing in:
C C:\LandLore

But nothing happens other than the same msg I have been getting this entire time.... it doesn't exist.

If you mean DosBox, and not Dos, then:

mount c c:\landlore
c:
lands.exe (or lolcd.exe with CD version of the game)

mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Lands of Lore"

mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\LandLore"

The path you must give the mount command to use needs to be a real path to a directory on your hard drive.
"My Documents" is not equivalent to your C drive.

Ok I tried changing user to owner and nothing changed, and i'm not tech savvy enough to know what your talking about, horseman. But if its the C drive its supposed to be reading, even if it says its reading off that in the status window, why in the actual input window does it say: "Z:\>"?
