You need to tell us EXACTLY what you type in when you start DosBox.

It should be:

Mount c c:\Games
c:

Then you type in "CD Kellog" to enter the game directory.
Then you type in the name of the game executable to launch the game.

I do not have the game so I do not know the proper name of it or if you need to run a setup program to configure the sound.

thank you for answering
mount C C:\oldgames

then C:

then Z changed to C

then i tried to open the file i created in oldgames that i called kelloggsland

i typed in: kelloggsland
then: command illegal

shouldnt it just open the file first. i put the setup in this file so i thought i just open the file, and then try setup.exe
???

If you use "Kelloggsland" then that is too long of a name for DOSBox.

DOSBox only recognizes 8.3 character filenames.

So you need to change "Kelloggsland" to "Kelloggs".

i tried that but still illegal command 🙁

Did you change the name of the folder in Windows? Try changing it to just "k" and then go to "k".

ex:

mount c c:\oldgames
c:
cd k

can i tell you that i really love u?
it worked.. now let me try to install!
thank u soooo much! the internet is great because of people like u

worked perfectly also istalling. it just doesnt run. just 5sec showing the advertainment company then stop. tooo bad...

dosbox version?

You need to use CORE=NORMAL.

If you use my demovga build you get correct graphics too.

It doesn't like cycles=auto and needs timed=true for joystick else it locks up.

I don't know why the second capture is borked. It showed fine when playing, though.

You probably had no water though.

You are probably right as I played for just 10 seconds. I was using fixed cycles though. Where can I get your demovga build version?

Thank you very much!

Hi! I encountered the same problem and did what was told (re: changing the name 'coz it's too long). I tried to mount it again using the new name but it said that the game was already mounted, so I typed in:

E:\>cd TH
Unable to change to TH

I also tried cd: TH\TH.exe
(TH.exe is at TH folder at drive E)

I do not know really if I missed something, consider me $T%&iD when it comes to pc technicalities or whatever. I'm going crazy for 2days now and I haven't got any sleep since yesterday. All I wanted was to play that old game. Please help.

Thanks in advance!

when I tried to mount it again it said:

Drive already mounted with local directory E:\ThemeHospital\
Direcoryname is longer than 8.3 characters and/or contains spaces.
Try cd TH\The~1

E:\>cd TH\The~1
Unable to change to: TH\The~1

First of all try to understand mounting (read the guides thoroughfully),
then try "e:" followed by "dir"

Hi! Thank you for the prompt reply. I followed the instruction at Wiki and didn't see the "dir" thing (didn't finish reading the entire page 'coz I was so excited to play), but will take your advice for sure. Will let you know what happens.

Thanks again!
