and my cdrom drive is on e:

I have the original cd, and have intalled it into c:\oldgames\lolcd

mount e e:\ -t cdrom
e:
cd data
cd hardrive
main.exe

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

Note: Based on the the information in your post, you should delete your C:\OldGames\LOLCD folder, create a C:\OldGames\LOL folder, and use the following mount commands:

mount C "C:\OldGames\LOL"
mount D "E:\" -t cdrom

before trying to re-install the game from the CD - and do the install from inside DOSBox.

Sorry for putting it in wrong forum.

Minimax, I followed your instructions and it worked

Now that I play the game, it seems a bit sluggish. About a 1-2 second delay when I attack, use spells, click on map ect. Even when I move, anyway to fix this? Thanks again

Before you run the game, enter these 2 commands:

C:\>core dynamic
C:\>cycles max
