Hello, I've looked around and was unable to find a coherent fix for this problem, so I figured I'd try here.

Basically, the problem is when I run the setup for Day of the Tentacle, I choose the appropriate Soundblaster etc. settings, and then when I attempt to save the settings it kicks me back to the command prompt with the error "Error opening .INI file". It apparently can't save the settings, so when I play the game without setup I can't hear the voices and some sounds. Attempting to run the game without DosBox lets me hear the voices for a split second, and then the characters get cut off but continue their motions unless I skip it. Fortunately, running it this way created the INI file the game couldn't open in DosBox and placed it onto the C drive, but try as I might I can't get the DosBox version to use it. I only have an ISO of the games CD, but I'm not certain this is a CD mounting problem (game runs fine if I don't try to run the setup). Can anyone help me out here? I would definitely appreciate any help.

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

You don't have the CD?

Ah, yes, thanks MiniMax. Sorry I didn't look at that, I feel kinda dumb now, my apologies. But it's working fine now, thanks a lot!
