Hi, first of all I appreciate all the help you guys provide. I think that I have DosBox all set up, I run install.exe with ONLY SoundBlaster and I get the following error in the DOSbox window:

" 'Memory: Original Current Used
'NEAR 0 31716 -31716
'FAR 0 378524 -378524
'HIGH 0 0 0

Error #1910

Filename=..\..\DATA\MOUSE\pnt.shp
Length =0
Position= 0
Mode =READ
Program halted by code."

The other DosBox window reads: "Exit to error: Pagefault didn't correct table."

Anyone have any idea what this is and how I can get around it, to reach my ultimate goal of playing privateer??

I attached (I think) a screenshot of the errors. Please help!

Thanks,

Mark

Screw that guide, he doesn't even tell which dosbox version he used. It's a very outdated tutorial.

Check the threads on the guides forum about how to correctly install a game inside dosbox.

i found the problem
you must have your Priv.tre file in your c:\privater folder
your priv.cfg must look like this "=priv.tre"

same thing for RF if you have it
this is if you are running off your HD *recomend it*

if there is anyone out there still interested in playing Privateer i could make a very easy step by step guild for them?

your priv.cfg should read as followed

=D:\priv.tre

but if your running the game off your Hard Drive you change it too

=priv.tre

D:\ just means CD (or what ever driver letter your CD drive is)
when you take it away the game automatically searchs the Privater file for the priv.tre
