Try to replace DOS4GW by DOS32A extender. Search forums for information about DOS32A... It is generally better in DOSBOX than DOS4GW.
This is just a thing to try, I did not try it in this game.
Also remember that "normal" core is more stable than "dynamic" core.

I did run it under windows XP with the windows version (its included on the cds which I'm sure you have *wink* *wink*) There is even a 3D patch to make it look and run better.

Its much smoother and less buggy with that patch.

Actually, now that you mention 2k I did run it on my grandfather's machine which had that O/S. With the windows version is work great with full sound.

I do have the original CD's and I have tried running it under Windows 2K natively:

This is what happens:
It will not install (need to copy the SETUP and INSTALL fies over and run them from there.

It will not load saved games (I suspect this is a missing registry info problem)
It crashes with missing file errors (when the files are there)

So, there yo ugo, hence why I'd like to try running it under some sort of DOS emulator without the drama of setting up a DOS partition.

Doesn't install? What kind of error messages do you get? Are you installing via the autorun? Does it freeze during the sound/options setup dialogues? I don't see why it would simply fail.

What files does it say are missing?

As for save games, were they saved under windows? I'm not sure if saves are compatible between the two.

The only reason I ask so much is because I never have any trouble with this games and it seems wierd to me that it doesn't like your machine. I sincerly doubt its 2k's fault since I have done it before.

None of the above. The install routine goes through the process, then says "setup finished" without actually installing anything...I'm not the only one who experiences this, see
http://www.ntcompatible.com/cdetail10418.html (scroll down a little)

I've done what that site has suggested, and it works, but it will not load saved games; they're greyed out. I.e I can autosave (F8) to my heart's content, but it will not load them if I exit the game.

Edit: smilies got in the way.

@Horrorshow: Are you line of questions directed towards gettting LoL2 to work with DOSBox, or run it natively in Win2k?

Either, I'd rather run it natively, but if that's not going to happen, then DosBOX, but like my first post said; I'm having problems getting that going as well.

This is confusing the hell out of me...I could have sworn it was run on win2000, and I can't recall any major tinkering on my part. 😳 Maybe a service pack broke it? I don't remember which one he had... 😅

As for running in dosbox, that game is a little resource intensive don't you think? I had an old pentium that could barely run this game unless it was in lo-res mode with no detail. If I were you I wouldn't give up on native just yet....there must be a reason why it won't install.
