It might help with a little more information. Try this in DOSBox: 1) MOUNT C "C:\Users\............ whatever you wrote when you installed it" 2) MOUNT D "G:\" -t cdrom 3) C: 4) CD ID 5) CD T7G 6) DIR C: > DIRLIST1.TXT 7) DIR D: > DIRLIST2.TXT 8) EXIT Now go to the T7G folder in Vista, and open …

DOSBox belongs in C:/Program Files/DOSBox-0.72. Don't change that. What kind of keyboard? What language? Windows XP? USB keyboard? Btw - I am sure you can type /. Usuallly it is \ that is the problem.

Btw. that 7th Guest game seems to be a tad difficult to get running. Or maybe there are just too many different versions out there. Do a search in these forums for "7th" and you will see what I mean.

One of the big problems with abandonware right now (asside from the legality,) is that there is no way to tell if a problem is created by the engine (VDMSound or DOSBox for example.) Or if it is because there is something wrong with the copied software (the setup.exe wasn't included, drivers were …

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too). If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc. Reading the aptly named README file will be a good idea too.

Would not be better if you found a casing for a normal CD-drive and extended the normal IDE-cable and power-cable out of the PC enclosure?

DOSBox don't have, don't need, and don't support an C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Anything you want to do when DOSBox starts is configured inside the dosbox.conf file. Reading the excellent README-file that came with DOSBox is known to help people figuring out such things.

I don't think we should abolish it entirely, but adjusting some of the ridiculous time frames that protects old software is in order.
