Hi. When I try to run a bat file DosBox locks-up dead as a door nail. Ctrl-Alt-Del won't even bring up task manager.

Any help will be appreciated,
James

batchfile is broken
cd c:\lsl\ls1vga ...... <- that is wrong! (remove the c:\ )

This way you end up call the same batchfile over and over again

Creating batch files isn't difficult but I strongly advise you getting a front-end for DOSBox. It will make your life easier.

Just add:

mount c C:\LSL\LSL1VGA
c:
SCIDHUV.EXE

to the autoexec section of your dosbox.conf and start DOSBox with that conf file.
