> did anyone have the same problem, and how do you solve it?

Eh - which problem? Using the mouse, exception 0bh, or SDL fault?

maybe its all the the same problem.
only want to play the game.

I don't have that game, so...

Perhaps you could start by posting the commands you used in DOSBox to mount a directory as the C-drive and your CD as drive D? How did you install the game? How do you start the game?

so:
the game was still on the harddrive directory d:\games\settlers
then i added in the CFG:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

mount c d:\games\settlers

c:

if you open dosbox you can type "quick.bat" or "sied.exe" to start the game.
then dos32a starts, and nothing more happend, only the error.

How did it get there? Did you copy the files from an CD, did you unpack them from a download?

i installed it from 2 disks (small game, from 1994),
but where can be the mistake?

First of all don't load any mouse driver as dosbox has build-in
support (if this wasn"t already mentioned above).
Then try to start the game with "sied n" or check some
of the batch files what parameters are possible.
The game runs fine with dos4gw, so try to stick to that one.

And be sure there are no read-only files.

thanx,
i did it, but there is still the error:

DOS/4GW Professional error (2001): exception 0Bh (segment not present) at 180:001B1228

and some more signs. i searched the web, but found nothing about this mystical error.
isnt the fault of dos/4gw, dos32a do the same.
the demo version and the intro works fine!

I believe that wd fixed these errors after 0.63 was released. So try a recent cvs compile to see if it works.

DIe Siedler worked flawless before afaict, but you can try.

Did you set the sound correctly (install.exe)? Does it
the same when sound is disabled?

I know it is nice to be able to play a game off the hard-disk instead of having to insert a diskette everytime, but when you are having problems with a game, it is best to go back to basics:

1. Delete everything in that D:\Games\Settlers directory.
2. Insert first diskette in drive A.
3. Start DOSBox.
4. In DOSBox, mount up drive C and A.
   Z:>mount C "D:\Games\Settlers"
   Z:>mount A "A:\" -t floppy
5. Install the game from A: to C:
   Z:>A:
   D:>install (or setup, or whatever....)
6. Configure sound, ....
7. Start game.

ok, i get the original disks and it works. no error message.
think it was the win95 patch i did some years ago on the sied.exe,
sometimes its so easy, but difficult to find out.
thanx a lot 😁
