Hello there!
I´m tryng to run the game(High Seas Trader) here with the DOSbox, but when execut the game, comes the message:

error -- Load LBM, <D:\ pics\buf3.lbm> file not found

Does anyone knows why? And what should I do?

Thx, n sorry for the poor english.

Add Information:
1-Win XP
2-Original game with CD
3-I had 'mount' the drive C to C, where the game is, so, what is this drive D?

Most likely, High Seas Trader is trying to load the LBM file from the original game CD. And, by default, it assumes that the CD is always in drive D.

Luckily, there is an easy fix: Tell DOSBox to mount your real CD-ROM as drive D (substitute X for your real CD-drive, XXXXXX for the real CD label) :

Z:> mount D "X:\" -t cdrom

If HST still complains, try adding a few options:

Z:> mount D "X:\" -t cdrom -ioctl
Z:> mount D "X:\" -t cdrom -ioctl -label XXXXXX

If that still fail, read the ReadMe.txt that came with DOSBox (it is there for a reason).
