I've mounted both the C: drive and E: (my CD-ROM) drive. The executeable is on the CD. When I try to run it, it says,
MSCDEX driver not found Lemmings - (c) CLOCKWORK GAMES 1995
V1.13 26/07/95 17:23:11

What do I need to do?

Nevermind. I got it working, but it's much too slow to be playable, even with throttling it up and losts of frameskip. I guess it can't be helped.

Does anybody know what I can do to solve this exact same problem?

You must mount a CD ROM (-t cdrom) for MSCDEX to be recognized by a game. I already met one cracked game which worked without CD, but which still checked for MSCDEX (even though the cracked version was not using any CD at all). The simple solution was to mount any CD and the game was happy (MSCDEX was found).

True! Even on my Athlon XP
