I have been trying to get 25 anniversary to work on windows xp using dosbox and can not seem get it to run. I have used dosbox .63 and run judgement rites and so far that game is running fine. I have tried using dosbox .61 and .63. When I try it I use:

mount c c:\dosbox
mount e e:\ -t cdrom -used 1 -ioctl

e is my cd drive and the 1 is my number on the cd drive.
After this I do the e:
Then with the e promp I type install
It then goes to a good picture to start and I select to install the game and then the problem starts.
It promps me for the video, sound and music but the colors are all off and almost unreadable on these pages. I go thru them anyway and after the last one, I tell it to continue and the screen just goes black.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

I figured it out. For anyone having the same problem, here is what I did.

e: is my cd drive
1 is the number of my cd drive

using dosbox .61 on windows xp

z:\ mount c c:\dosbox
z:\ mount e e:\ -t cdrom -used 1 -ioctl
z:\ c:
c:\ cd\trekcd
c:\trekcd>setup
c:\trekcd>startrek

And the game started just fine. : 😀

Just so you know, both DOSBox 0.61 and 0.63 are ancient now. You might want to check the link in my sig for info on CVS builds.
