So you have a CD image, care to tell the name/format and exact path?schleinn wrote:i just mount the img with deamon tools
Can be an ISO or Bin/Cue file ......
I'm afraid it won't work like this. You must install the game in dosbox, for that you will need a virtual C: and mount the CDimage as D: (cd drive) in dosbox.schleinn wrote:i just mount the img with deamon tools and installed it

OK, Win 7, as far as I can see from your first post you do NOT run the game in dosbox but in dos command window, that's not the same.
The error you posted has nothing to see with dosbox but is a Windows error message.
First step is to install dosbox correctly in Win7,

Once that is done, you need to install the game in dosbox, for this you will need to mount your CD as D: in dosbox.
If I understand you swell you have a cloneCD image ànd a BIN/CUE image, so you have a choice to make, the CCD or the BIN/CUE
You do not need to burn the CD, dosgame CDs aren't really suited to run directly from a real CD, as the old CDdrives didn't spin up/down the whole time, when ran from real CDs dosgames kinda become jerky, as the ol' 2X 4X CDdrives didn't spin down .... etcetera ....)
Launch dosbox and at the prompt:
The BIN/CUE can be mounted directly in dosbox as D: with the imgmount command:
imgmount d "x:\path\name image.cue" -t cdrom
The CCD image can not be mounted directly, you need to mount the image in your virtual CD drive as usual and your dosbox mount line becomes:
mount d g:\ -t cdrom
Advisable is the "imgmount" method directly in dosbox, but not obligatory, depends of your hardware, imgmount is a bit more performant.
Next install the game IN DOSBOX from D: on C:

Dosbox can mount a directory as a "CD", so if it just wants the files, etc. you can also mount a D: drive with the CD option.
Or if you have the CD / CDImage, dosbox can mount those as well.
Check this link out for dosbox config details/commands.

Or let us know what you've got and we might be able to help. Or if you downloaded it, you can ask at that site, too. Sometimes they do funny stuff when they package games.
