great program, nice features.... But I have an issue. I am running windows XP and not real sure I have this set up correctly.

My issue is comparing "DOG" GUI to D-Fend (Reloaded).

In Dog you just select new profile and find the .bat, .exe, whatever one that will run and the game runs.

In D-Fend (Reloaded) the screen just blanks out or with options to leave it on tells you that you need to mount C: not Z: (File Path is relative to the dosbox directory structure) OR with out that checked something about 8 char or spaces. You can go to the autoexe options and type something like.

mount C "c:\program files\d-fend reloaded\virtualhd\"
c:
cd/
cd lemmin~1
call LEMMINGS.BAT

OR just do it manually once the DOS windows opens with the error but it kind of takes away from that GUI feeling.

For some reason games like Magic carpet, Populous, and a few others run without issues but most of them don't run at all even though Dog runs everyone very easily.

3 out of 22 ran right away with D-Fend (REloaded)
19 out of 22 ran right away with Dog (granted most are not worth playing as I got about 200 some games in one download off bit torrent) but the deal is that they did run quickly in Dog.

There has to be some NOOB thing I am missing to turn this around for me. I would rather use this GUI but will have to stop messing with it and stick with the Dog if I can't get things to run quickly.

thank you for any help.
