But is it not able to mount/load from the CD drive?
Yes, it is. In fact, if you install it from CD, configure the sound card and then start it, it should run without problems.
I was just saying that if you want to play it without CD, you need to alter the batch file. Just copying the files to hard drive won't work.And you mean open up SIMON.BAT in a text editor?
Yes, that's how you edit batch files.
Still complains about DIGPAK unloaded or something.
No. The message about the sound driver being unloaded is normal and not an error message. You always get it when exiting the game.
In your case the game doesn't run at all, hence you get that message right after trying to start it.
In my case, I got that problem when I tried running it without the CD, hence I suspected the problem to be there.
But you installed the game from the CD in pure DOS, correct?I'm also confused by your first screenshot. Something like DOSKey is normally loaded by the autoexec.bat. The LOCK part I don't know, but I don't see where you typed in SIMON. The SIMON.BAT itself wouldn't load doskey. When did you get that screen? When typing in simon from pure dos?
I've still yet to experiment with this some more a bit later, but from what I remember that was in DOS. But via Start > Shutdown > Restart in MS-DOS. Also, I've not been able, or seen any files, to suggest I can type in just 'SIMON'. I thought it was always followed by .EXE etc? I think I did try installing it from DOS, but then it complains there's nothing in the CD drive, I think. When I play around with it again, I'll try taking some more screenshots and uploading them.
