Try the HotU 1.1 version, I tested it again, works fine here in dosbox 0.73, default config.
Delete your old curse folder and start over from scratch.

This system does not support fullscreen when I hit start and on my 0.73 system it says

unable to change to start. Okay, now I am completely lost.

In stead of posting all kinds of things that aren't helpful to find out where you gone wrong, why don't you post relevant info...?

Hit 'enter' after each line, should do the trick.

If you did the mount c "c:\users\Khiezer\oldgames\" and C: under [autoexec] (still no details from you .... *sigh* ) ignore those.

Can't be thàt hard, isn't it?
This is the game downed from HotU:
Dosbox inputs


And the game runs:

Relevant is whàt you do, from the first step, how did you install dosbox? Did you alter something in dosbox config? What unzipper do you use?
All your mount lines, all your inputs.
Read my previous post again, there you'll see what I mean.
The game runs fine, so it's prtetty sure you gone wrong somewhere, I can't even begin to guess where.

I keep repeating the same, but don't get any details from you.
So , I repeat once again:

Okay I installed dosbox from Major Geeks
I went to Dosbox edit configuration (autoexec) and mounted c:\users\Khiezer\oldgames\
(I did use your sticky to do so)
I also used your site that you sent me to.

I get in dosbox that drive c is mounted as
c:\users\Khiezer\oldgames\
c:

I put in
cd curse


it then reads

unable to change to curse

my question is whether or not I have done something wrong. I know that I have, I'm just not sure what exactly.

I'm a 34yr old salesman with 6 almsot 7 children and pulling out his hair. I'm sure you don't have time to babysit, but I have the cpu knowledge of a moron. 10 IQ, I'm not worthy.

Just trying to get some help buddy, don't know what OS and all that means. I just want to get a few AC, HP, and some Thaco and prepare to plunder some orcs man.

Um, when you unzipped curse of the azure bonds, you did unzip it to c:\users\Khiezer\oldgames\curse, right?
