You don't mention the name of the game. Anyway, how did you mount your cd-rom drive? Have you forgotten to add the -t cdrom switch?

E.g. mount d d:\ -t cdrom

(Please note that there is a blank space between -t and cdrom).

he does mention the game name, it's "Tilt!" and one of the lesser known good pinball games, forgotten because of the Pro Pinball series

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.
