Did you mount the directory properly? If so, try renaming it to a 8.3 name if it has a long name.

0_0... I'm sorry but i have no idea what you're talking about.I hardly know jack about how to run anything DOS, but i'm pretty sure i moutned it correctly.I followed the newbie's pictoral guide precisely. It starts out with Z:\ i change it by putting mount C C:\ (or something like that) and then i mount it to c and then i put "cd interplay" nect to it and it's "unable to change" GRRR!!

The name "interplay" has 9 characters. In DOS you can use max 8 characters (plus 3 in extension). So it cannot work.

For mouse try CTRL F10.
If the keyboard does not work, then you must hope that it will be better in the next version.
As for sound skipping - you are probably running with too many cycles for your computer. 3D shooters are power hungry...
If you are unable to run it well in DOSBOX, search VOGONS, I think that other people ran it natively in Windows (using VDMSound).

ok,i got the keyboard to work.The sound and game still lag badly even when pressing ctrl-F8 and ctrl-F12.And this VDS sound or whatever..is that a dos setup ability or some other program you can download?
