Forgive me if this is already addressed elsewhere, but I haven't been able to locate it yet.

I'm running XP, and have been trying, and failing, to run Master of Magic.

I've tried several things, including VDMSound (which refuses to run on my system) as well as modifying the PIF file to allow for the expanded memory (2700).

Currently I'm trying DosBox, but no matter what, it tells me it cannot find my CD.

I've tried mounting my cd rom. But beyond that Im not sure what could work. Any suggestions? Any way I could run this game would be better than the level I'm at now.

did you try the -t cdrom switch to mount ?

like in
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
