It appears that others have had this same issue. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=14232 That is a thread from ten years ago that appears to relate to an entirely different issue. Once the image is installed it's no longer an image though... How can you remount an image after all the game files …

It worked. Both games will now boot without issue. Future Shock is even available in high-res svga through Skynet now. Thank you for your tremendous help and continued patience.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ERROR MESSAGE THE GAME *ALSO* NEEDS THE CD! So for the xth time, use the mountings you used for installing the game. The ones in the picture. The ones that you confirmed that you could install the game AND run it. So *these* mountings for both c and d AND then run it …

I can play the game directly after install. As soon as I close out and attempt to play it without installing I get this error. Close out meaning, exit the game or exit Dosbox? If you mean exit Dosbox I'm sure you are not mounting the CD(image?) again Closeout DOSBOX. Once the image is installed …

It appears that others have had this same issue. Terminator Skynet problem I have tried editing the install.dat file with notepad in every possible combination that I can think of and it doesn't solve the issue.

also, don't work in the program files folder, like you might be doing. This will give problems, as not all files can be opened properly because of windows protections. This makes no difference if you run as an administrator. I have played countless games in DOSBox all of which save without problems …

You need to mount that folder as C, and still need to mount your cd as d. For playing use the SAME mountings as for installation (which means mount AND imgmount command). You saw that that worked, why are you so hell bent on using different mountings for playing? I already tried it that way. I get …

I finally made some progress: So you were getting an error message since you moved the .img file to a different folder. This is probably getting frustrating for you, but you've kind of been told twice now what you're supposed to be doing. Also, in your description you are not mounting the cdrom …

This is what you wrote in your first post: To initially install the game: mount c c:\progra~1\dosbox\games\terminator imgmount d c:\progra~1\dosbox\games\terminator\terminator.img -t iso Do you still get an error message from DOSBox when you type these commands? I finally made some progress: …

You aren't doing too well at following the 60 seconds guide. You should mount drives the same way for both installation and for running games. In your description, you are mounting the terminator directory for installation when you should be mounting the games directory below as you do when running …

Dominus wrote: Your imgmount command in your initial post is correct (-t iso, not -t cdrom). Other than that the 60 seconds guide still applies (instead of a real cd-rom you use an image with the correct imgmount command) If it is correct then why am I running into the problem I described?

Windows 7 x86 DOSBox 0.74 Hello, I have used dosbox in the past without any issues, however, I have never done so with a .img file. Today I tried for the first time and got as far as installing the game but when I try to then run the .exe file that was installed in the directory I am receiving the …
