I don't have the real CD as it's at my brother's place, so he sent me an ISO which I mounted with Daemon tools lite. the D: I mounted is the virtual drive, but I supposed DosBox wouldn't see the difference)

would mounting a cue or bin do the trick ??

-> Try to mount the ISO directly in dosbox 0.73(don't use daemon tools) with imgmount.
imgmount d "x:\path\name.iso" -t iso

-> Won't hurt to try with a BIN/CUE, use a good soft to create it, as is:
http://www.imgburn.com/
Mount it also directly in dosbox with imgmount
imgmount d "x:\path\name.cue" -t iso

-> Ask your brother to make a good copy of the CD.

Hi again.

thank you for the so quick answer !!!!
I just tried the imgmount but to no effect, I still get the no cd-rom error.
(i replace my D: autoexec line, so I don't think re-installing is the solution ?)

is it possible that it won't work because of a cd protection ?

I'm currently writing a bin.
will come back to you.

I think I'll also try Virtual PC as it's free...

hey again

I burned a bin/cue and tried mounting the cue, but it just doesn't work.
I always get an error :

Could not load image file: C:\DOSPROG\ISO\SWIV-3D.cue"
MSCDEX: Failure: Path not valid

but I still can load easily the iso, and could load the bin.
but when launching I still get a NO CD error.

too bad.

I was so happy to play it again !

Not a valid Dos name.
Delete and try again, but this time name your image
swiv3d.cue / swiv3d.bin

Remark: delete it, don't simply rename it, won't work (... it's possible, but a bit more complicated ....)

[Edit]
For good understanding:
I mean that you create the bin/cue from the original CD.
Not using the probably faulty ISO / a CD burned from that ISO,...... I doubt that would work.

I tried from the ISO you're right it didn't work.
thanks for all your help, I'll be back when I'll have that new copy ! (probably in a few weeks, I'll have to go to his place)

bye

So... I get the error message when I follow everything that says "this is a Windows NT windowed executable." What did I do wrong, and what does that mean?
