So it took me a bit to get the game installed. But that was done and now when I type in orion (the execute command) the system pauses for a couple of secs then Dos Box just closes with no error or anything..Just closes. Any ideas?
Thanks

I used:"mount d d:\ -t cdrom" to mount the cd then I used "mount c c:\orion" to mount the c drive. Then I typed orion for the exe command to start the game.

are those the exact same mount commands you used when you *installed* the game, as well? (did you install it inside DOSBox, at all?)

In general, the mounted drives have to be identical during installation and gameplay, but also note that games usually don't like it when they think they're in the root of a hard drive ("mount c c:\orion" would do that).

better mount a different folder as C: (e.g. c:\dosgames) and have your "orion" folder under that. Would probably require you to reinstall the game.

I did install inside of DOSBox, Should I try to uninstall then reinstall using your suggested file path? Or leave it in and rename the file path? Thanks for the info =)
