I am trying to load Daggerfall through Dosbox. It was working fine yesterday, but when I try to load the game I get an error box pop up that says, Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." I haven't done anything to my computer. I tried restarting it, that didn't work. I logged off it was fine, when I logged on today it gave that message.

And if you try just to launch DOSBox without any Daggerfall or other game?

I re-installed dosbox, updated all microsoft files, ran RegCure for errors but I am still getting the runtime c++ errors every time I try to load Daggerfall. Here is how I load it:

mount c c:/dosgames
C:/
CD C:/DAGGER
C:/DAGGER>FALL Z.CFG

The first day this is how I ran it and it worked, now all i get is the error box. I don't have any other games to test, daggerfall is the only one. Not sure what to do.

You forgot to mount the CD-ROM. Remember you must use Daggerfall as label.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
