Yes, I had to check back and it looks like you said to me in a mesage on
July 20 (early in the thread which I first posted on July 19 at 6.40
pm). You said:
"If the game wants to run from the CD, then your problem is that you did
not mount the CDROM drive in the .conf file or manually. The needed line
would be something like:
mount E E:\ f\ -t cdrom -usecd 2 -apsi
where you put the correct drive letter for your system."
At that time I didn't really know what you meant because I thought I
only had to mount the C drive, so later on, when I mentioned about that,
Erimess said "thats the problem you also have to mount the cdrom drive"
so I guess when she told me that, I had forgotten about your above
comment from your message the day before. In other words, I was
confused about what I needed to do.
As an aside though, why would I mount E drive first then f: ? Why
wouldn't I mount the C drive first which is the drive I use most of the
time then the f: drive, which happens to be my case.?
I guess in your example above, you are saying if E was the hard drive
you were installing the game on, and using f: as a Cdrom, you would type
the above. As it happened, you were close in your example. Only the
letters were different and usercd was not necessary.

Yes, I found them later but since it was all confusing to me at the
time, I had to think things through before it sank in. I'm kind of slow
you know :) That same information is one of the examples in Dosbox
screen, if you type Intro cdrom, but Intro cdrom is not mentioned on the
main page of Dosbox, you have to dig a a bit for it. Only Intro is on
the main page, and it only mentions about mounting the c: drive, so I
got the obviously wrong impression that that was all that needed to be
done. There was no mention about having to mount the cdrom drive, so not
knowing anything about Dosbox, I didn't know I had to do that.

Yes, I saw that, and though I have Win 2K on one of my partitions, I
have not used it very much, so would prefer to stick with Win 98SE if
possible as all my programs are on it. And as it happens, I have been
able to do that.
Thanks Robert.
