maybe somebody can lead me in the right direction.

Remember in your last thread when you were told to post DOSBox questions in the DOSBox subforum? And I provided you with that link to 60 seconds guide to getting your game to run in DOSBox ?

In any case, it is difficult to help you if you cannot say more about what exactly you are doing. Please try to be as precise as possible.

i am trying to get the computer game ripper to run off the discs provided.
i have tried running the disk drive in dosbox with the ripper.exe but it only encounters problems running.
i did get it to work once but have forgotten how i did it.

What are the problems? Are there error messages or anything?

"error opening file "setting.def"

the intro doesnt load. and when i got it working the intro occured.

figured it out. thanks for your help anyway.

Now that you've created a thread, maybe you can explain how you solved your problem for the benefit of future Googlers who may encounter similar difficulties?

Sure. It took me a full sleepless night to figure it out,

Type, mount d d:\ -t CD-ROM

Then your hard drive which you installed the game onto,

mount c c:\cdripper
(That’s the folder)

Type, d:

D:

D:\cd install

D:\install\ripper

Then boom! It runs perfectly.

...I don't know how it took you a full sleepless night when that's pretty much exactly what it says in the 60 Seconds Guide I linked to? But thank you for posting that. Perhaps you will save someone else a "full sleepless night".

Also, it's "-t cdrom", not "-t cd-rom".

Yeah. That CD-ROM came up on predictive text.

It is -t cdrom
