I am having problems getting this game to work. Before I detail the problem I should probably tell you I'm not exactly knowledgable about DOS.

Ok, so I actually got the game to start (an achievement in itself) but it has no music despite me using the DOS program which comes with the downloaded game, also once it has started it simply repeats the opening sequence (ie, a clip of spaceship flying around). It gives me no menu or choices or anything. If I any press a key or use my mouse the whole program (DOSbox) simply closes down because of it being an illegal command!

I use Windows XP and have also downloaded 'Cutemouse' which is supposed to make my mouse work in DOS, whether it does this automatically after running in DOS or what I don't know!

If you'd like to try yourself to get Elite 3 working you can download from http://www.eliteclub.co.uk/download/
It isn't a very large download so won't take you very long!

Let me know if it works for you and what I'm doing wrong. I also tried typing 'Loadhigh' before running the game.
