I'd hoped to have some kind of reply by now. If any viewers think my DOSbox load sounds ok. I'd appreciate a quick "I can't understand why its not running."

If its relevant my machine is set up as follows:

Windows XP Home, with Service Pack2 (Runs well on my puter)
Soyo SY-P4X400 Dragon Ultra Platinum Motherboard
Pentium 4, 2.53 ghz, 533 FSB
1012 mb, Mushkin PC 3200 DDR RAM
Asylum GeForce 4, 4200ti, 128 meg
Maxtor 7200 Spin C: Drive, 40 gig
Maxtor 7200 Spin F: Drive, 160 gig
Hewlett Packard CD burner(doubles as my CD ROM)
Toshiba DVD burner
Antec True Power 480 Watt Power Source

My F drive is set up on SCSI enabled IDE connections that I enabled via the Mom Board Bios. Is it coincidence the DOSbox "Read and Write" text that I'm seeing is designated as occurring to Drive F?

Bad forum. moving to DOSBOX Games/Apps.

I received a popup generated by Jutland upon installation of the game, indicating that installation was completed.

A pop-up?? That sounds very un-DOSBox like. Did you run the installer from outside of DOSBox??

Did you install from a CD, an downloaded archive, or what?

...No all I meant to say was that the installation of the Game I'm trying to play was complete from the CD-Rom. I got a "Game Installed" confirmation and I can see the files within the new Directory on my C: Drive.

The "popup" I was referring to is the one with the Header:

C:\DOSbox\dosbox.exe

I'm assuming if the game loads properly it launches within this second DOSbox "popup"

As I said the odd thing is the "read to drive ffffffff" and "write to drive fffffff" automated commands appearing in this "box". There is also a continous string of alpha numeric lines which appear to be sequential but don't appear to be looping. I'm assuming they are cluster locations the program is trying to access data from.

I am not trying to access drive F:
I downloaded to and mounted drive C: as I indicated above in this thread.

The game is from 1993 and utilizes MS-DOS 6.0[/quote]

I am not sure that I understand how you installed the game.

Since you have Jutlan on CD, I suggest you try something like this:

1. Delete everything in the "C:\Jutland" directory.
2. Insert CD in drive.
3. Start DOSBox.
4. In DOSBox, mount up drive C and D.
   
   Z:>mount C "C:\Jutland"
   Z:>mount D "D:\" -t cdrom -ioctl
5. Install the game from D: to C:
   
   Z:>D:
   D:>install (or whatever the manual says)
6. Configure sound, ....
   
   D:>C:
   C:>setup (or whatever the manual says)
7. Start game.
   
   C:>jutland

I know I'm close now. DOSbox seems much more stable.

Your installation advice worked much better. I got prompts I did not receive when I installed the game outside of DOSbox. I'm having trouble with the final execution to get the game to start.

I believe both d: and c: drives are mounted as you directed. The executable file is

Jutlandv.exe

I've tried to run it from both the C: command line and the D: command line. From the C: Command line I get the following:

C:\>Jutlandv.exe
DOSbox Response: Error: MSCDEX NOT FOUND

From the D: command line I get the following:

D:\>Jutland\Jutlandv.exe
DOSbox Response:

Stub exec failed:
dos4gw.exe
No such file or directory

Thereafter I entered the following:

D:\>Jutland\DOS4GW.exe
DOSbox Response:

DOS/4GW Protected Mode Run-Time Version 1.8
Copyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. 1990-1992
DOS/4W Fatal Error - - Syntax DOS4G <executable.xxx>

I think its close...i'm just not sure what I'm doing mini max.

MINI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mounted the wrong type of cd rom command.......

ITS WORKING>.......🤣

It crashed with a memory error but it was working

Now i have to figure out how to expand the box to full screen

YOURE THE BEST

Alt+Enter for full screen.

Uhh, DOS4GW 1.8 is OLD (and probably buggy too). I recommend you to replace executable with 1.97 version (if not embedded) or reading the dos32a thread to find out how to replace DOS4GW with DOS32A 7.x (A nice, stabler improvement to be used with DOSBox's Dynamic Core). 😎
