Hi, I'm a proper newby at attempting to get old DOS games working, this in fact is my first attempt and straight away i seem to have ran into a problem... I keep getting the error message:

Internal error:
Can't open C:\STJRCD\uncomp/logo.anm
Game aborted...

when i try and run the program in DOSBOX... i honestly have no idea why, i wondered if anyone had any?

if you direct me to technical stuff, ie tell me how and where to find it, i can tell you, but i dont really know what would be useful.

I put the files in the C: directory, and ttyped the following commands to get it to "work"

mount c c:\STJRCD\
TREKJR

thats it 😖

Either you did it wrong, or the directory is missing.

directory?

im not sure i know what you mean, i extracted the files to C drive, and then like i said typed that stuff on DOSBOX...

ive also tried using D.O.G to open it, but the same error comes up... sorry to be a pain guys, because i literally do know nothing, but this gam brings me back to my youth, i would loooveee to play it again 😁

directory?

Yeah, unless you extracted all files into root.
