I have gotten DOTT to run on my pc (Vista 32 bit) from the disc with DOSBox, I cannot get the game to open if I copy all of the files to a folder on my hard drive.

My other issue is that since I am playing from the CD, anytime I try to save a game it says the disc is full.

If anyone can walk me thorugh how to make it work from my hard drive, or to simply change where the save game files go it would be greatly appreciated!!!

On your DOTT CD-ROM, is there an .exe file you can run such as install.exe or setup.exe, that will guide you through the process of installing the game's data files from the CD-ROM, to your hard drive?

why, one time everyone used to play from cdrom, but naturally it would never try to save "on cd" 😵 , there's one \dott.cd (iirc) folder created during installation of cdrom talkie version
the point is you haven't installed yet

but when you copy all files on hdd, what files are there to launch setup?
can you list them?
