Did you installed it inside DOSBox?

What mounting commands do you use?

Yes it is installed through Dosbox. Mounting commands are

mount c c:\ oldgames
mount d d:\ -t cdrom

Then in Dosbox, all I should have to do is enter C: cd stonkeep\sk

When I reinstall everything, it runs fine. It just stops loading the game sometimes.

There is a wrong blank space in the first mounting. It should be:

mount c c:\oldgames

Is that a typo on your part?

yes, sorry. It has no space.

Can you give more detail regarding your statement "It just stops loading the game sometimes."?

ok what I mean is that I type cd stonkeep and then sk and the dosbox screen just sits there and looks like it's not loading the game. It can sit there for anything up to a few hours and the game doesn't start, so I unistall dosbox and the game, and reinstall both and then the game will start playing ok.

What are you installing it from?

I have the stonekeep cd that I install it from. I install it into dosbox. I followed the instructions on a website called dosgames.

Was the CD mounted in DOSBox on the occasions that the game failed to start properly?

My guess is the game runs right after you install it because you still have the CD mounted, then later it doesn't run because you forgot to mount the CD in DOSBox before attempting to launch the game.

in the instructions it said to go to dosbox configuration and enter the following lines, so that you don't need to mount it each time you play it.

mount c c:\oldgames
mount d d:\ -t cdrom

then when you open dosbox all you should need to do is change the drive to C: and type cd stonkeep and then sk

When it's not mounted properly it says it has to run from a cd

The other thing it has started doing is dosbox closes as I'm playing the game. I have no indication it is going to happen, it just closes, so I end up loosing what I have done since my last save (which sucks when I have just beaten a baddie)

You might try asking at the forum for the site you got the guide from: http://www.dosgames.com/forum/

You might also try looking for a patch at http://www.patches-scrolls.de/

I have already downloaded the patch.

I have tried asking for help at the dosgames forum, but all I get is narky replies from a moderator telling me I've installed it wrong, and if I follow his instructions it works properly every time.

Every time I have installed dosbox and the game, I have followed his instructions word for word.

Thank you anyway, I guess I'm just not meant to play this game.

Going here you could have save yourself alot of time:
