OS? XP Home

Mount lines? NOt sure... mounted into c:\documents

Dosbox version? .70 (reccomended for the game)

Do you have the CD? In the computer when I try to run.

Any thing else I can help with?

Yes is not a mount line, if you can't be bothered to answer a simple question don't ask for help, I can't help you if you don't give detailed answers.

If it's all too complicated for you go on Abandonia and download the game from there, it's pre installed and ready to run in dosbox, no install needed.

Of course not, that can't work.

You post here, so I assume you can read?
So, once again:
