I just started playing this game...it works perfectly fine until I reach a point in Level 4, where I have to place a statue head into a slot to continue on. As soon as I do so, the game crashes. It starts acting weird(strange colors, everything except the mouse freezing, etc.) until it goes back to the C prompt, where I get a message to the effect of "unable to load Lump <number> into DrawPic". The status window has a trillion "illegal write into <hex number>" errors. I've googled it and tried the troubleshooting guides both here and in the README and none helped.

My system:
HP Pavilion dv5 notebook
Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz
3 GB RAM
Windows Vista SP2
Happened to me with Dosbox 0.73, I switched to 0.72 after seeing the game supported for that version on dosbox.com and the problem persists.

It has to be asked: are you using a legitimate version, or something that you downloaded from somewhere?

If you downloaded it from somewhere it is entirely possible that the files are corrupt.
