Hi guys, I just installed Rayman Learning Center Vol. 1 using this video on Youtube as a guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0vkOaX-W-g

Since I'm REALLY unfamiliar with computers, I've decided to use Belarc Advisor.

1.?

2. 2.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
256 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Not hyper-threaded

3. ?

4. NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 [Display adapter]
Samsung SyncMaster [Monitor] (19.1"vis, s/n H9FQ859659, August 2008)

5. Realtek High Definition Audio

6. Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 (build 6002)

7. Rayman Learning Center Volume 1

8. After installation, it gives me this problem:
CD ROM's initialization.
CD ROM drive found on E:
Please insert Rayman's cdrom.
- If rayman can not find disk, press ESC, and rerun Rayman.
- If you want to try Rayman in limited mode, press SPACE.
I've tried pressing ESC and Space, and it didn't do anything. I reinstalled the game, but the second time, the sound wouldn't work.

9. Always whenever I run the batch file on the computer, or press play using the CD's install file.

10. I think the sound card used was Roland 10 or something. I could check again soon if needed.

11. Unsure.

12. DOSBox 0.74.

13. Reinstallation. Messed up the sound though. This is what I typed on DOSBox by the way:
mount e e:/ -t cdrom
mount c c:\rlc1
dir
e:
dir
install Thank you in advance.

Did you use the same exact mountings after installation?.

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

That video is crap, the guy obviously doesn't really know what he's talking about.

I don't have the game to test, but here are some things to try:

First, I would mount the virtual hd as C:\, and the CD-ROM as D:\. DOS doesn't like "gaps" in between drive letters. You're on Windows, so you should use backslashes as path denominators exclusively ("\" instead of "/"). Delete the old install and reinstall the game. If it still doesn't work try creating an image of the CD and mount it using the "imgmount" command (info on how to use that command in the DOSBox manual). If the game CD contains audio tracks you need to create a BIN/CUE image, if it doesn't then an ISO image will suffice. Try another reinstall. When starting the game you must use the exact same mountings you've used for installing it.

Addict, thank you for your recommendation, I tried your first suggestion and it worked. I typed:

mount d e:\ -t cdrom
mount c c:\rlc1
d:
install

I installed then played afterwards. But, I'm trying to create a shortcut so I wouldn't have to type the commands anymore. The problem is that there is no .exe file in my C:\RLC1. There is only a Batch file, and the only way I can run it is to go back to D: and run the installation file.

*PS. Game sometimes starts running fast. I fixed it the first time by reinstalling but it happened again. Any idea?
