It depends on what E: is. If it's another CD drive then put any CD in it. If it's a Flash drive, you need to stick a flash memory module in it.

It would be better if the drive you are putting the TR CD in, used a lower drive letter. On Windows 7, you can change drive letters for drives by going to

ControlPanel
=>SystemAndSecturity
=>AdministrativeTools
=>ComputerManagement
=>Storage
=>DiskManagement

There you can right click on any drive and change its properties, including which drive letter it used.

Probably better still would be if I changed Glidos to make that message only a warning. It certainly used to be an important check when TR was being run directly under Windows, but it may not be so important when running the game via VDos32 or DOSBox.

E is another CD drive.. and i only have 1 cd slot so how could i? i tried mounting something in it with daemon tools which worked but then it said now the D drive is empty.. which is ANOTHER cd drive. and The CD is using the lowest letter which is F cause the other ones are D and E.

EDIT- i just turned off the other drives but now when i click start game it says dosbox not found.. isent glidos installed with dos box? cause on the site it says to click the option for dos box in the DOS tab.. so why is it saying that? plus i do have dos box installed separately on my computer.

BTW i have windows vista 32 bit.

Sorry this is so much hassle, but you are nearly there.

For 32bit versions of Windows, you can select VDos32 rather than DOSBox. Should all work then.

If you do want to use DOSBox, then you need to install a special version. It wont mess up your other installation of DOSBox. The spectial version can be found on the download page of the Glidos site - the same page from which you downloaded Glidos.

Downloading the audio pack and setting Glidos to use that should fix the theme music playing over the FMV.

The freezing in the key setup screen may be a problem specific to VDos32. Can joy2key not assign to the default keys? If not, you may need to download the special version of DOSBox from the Glidos download page, and set Glidos to use that, if only just while setting up the keys.
