First check to see if you have any other .bat or .exe files in the game-directory.

If so try to run those in stead.

Turning off the DOSBox console has no influence on the execution/emulation of the game. The console is used soly for debugging purposes.

Did you install the game through DOSBox in stead of the Window's NTVDM (Windows "DOS")?

Erik.

Okay, I had the cycles set to 100. When I set thwe cycles to auto it started working. Does each cycle equal a 1 Hz or 1 MHz?

Just start the game with SIERRA.EXE

1 Cycle is related to the number of Hz emulated, but this differs on each system as each system can handle more or less dosbox cycles per second.

Erik.

Also, keep in mind that cycles=auto equals to 3000 cycles for real mode games and is cycles=max for protected mode ones. Correct me if I am wrong.

You'll need at least 5000 cycles to run the majority of DOS games - for Quest of Glory 20000 cycles should be enough.

20000 is fast enough to induce the speed bugs that many of the SCI games have. No SCI game needs more than about 7000-9000 cycles.

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks.

So is it a good idea to set the cycles to around 5000 and then experiment with different levels of cycles?

Whatever works
