Hello,
i have seen the posting guidelines, but i feel that this issue's nature can be legitimate to go directley on before i post all my system info

cause its simply that i wonder if i shall blaime my keyboard or if there is some special settings i must make in dosbox to be able to write
: and \ once inside the application interface

thoose keyboard keys instead seems replaced and creates a ">" alternate nothing for me..and that can be a problem when you intend to mount NHL 96 with the whole cd rom drive 🙄
If this is explained in dosbox guides? i appologize for not finding the chapter myself..but my english word and prase library is somewhat limited (i mean "signs" is my best word to describe it)

I have a microsoft multimedia keyboard 1.0a
and dosbox-0.73

I guess that is the cause of all your problems.

Try the command KEYB SV in DOSBox.

If not, there are some posts here about disabling a keyboard driver or something...

You do not need to write "MOUNT D D:\ -T cdrom", you can also write "MOUNT D D:/ -T cdrom".

Det är mycket enkelt:

mount C "F:\spel"
mount D "I:\" -t cdrom

Dubbelt-fnytterna är inte nödvändiga i detta fall, bara om stien innehåller blanktecken. Men det är aldrig fel att skriva dom och göra det till en vana.

1.Ok, måste jag skriva in "mount D I:\ -t cdrom" varje gång jag ska körat?
eller kan man få in det i config filen månne 😀?

2.Utan att mounta cd-romen och bara kopiera mappen ifrån cd skivan till
F:\spel så går det bra att skriva på klassiskt maner som nedan

och installationen jag vill åt startar, men med cd-skivan mountad måste jag tydligen skriva nått annat, frågan är bara vad?

cd skivan blottad

subfolder av intresse? "cd hockey" funkade mindre bra

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.
