Hi

Obviously i have scoured this site and others for my answer but i keep hitting a brick wall.

I am quite familiar with the commands and controls etc and have successfully mounted drive d:\ (cd drive) and c:\ (hard drive) and installed CM2 from the CD itself.

The intro loads up perfectly and it gets to the, "Checking CD-Rom. This will take 10-25 seconds depending on your CD Drive..."

Then I get a "Stack Fault" error and it just back to the beginning of DosBox. (See attached)

If you use the c:\go command the intro will load once again and stop at the same point. If you just use C:\CM2 it takes you straight to the "Checking CD-Rom. This will take 10-25 seconds depending on your CD Drive..." but again, i just get the "Stack Fault" message.

I managed to load up a downloaded copy but it turned out to just be Spanish teams....

As i have the original i'm desparate to get it working as i love this game and for me, this is where it all began!!!

A paypal pint will go out to the person who helps me with what appears to be a minor stumbling block...

Always say thanks

The trouble is - IIRC, "CM2 95/96" is Laserlok protected game. And Dosbox don't supports Laserlok.
You can try to bypass protection with dos32a extender.
Download, copy dos32a.exe to CM2 directory and run the game with "dos32a cm2.exe" command

Asus P4P800 SE/Pentium4 3.2E/2 Gb DDR400B,
Radeon HD3850 Agp (Sapphire), Catalyst 14.4 (XpProSp3).

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

I managed to get passed the usual laserlock issues at the install phase but just as i think i'm into the game i get the "Stack Fault" message.

I'll let you know how i get on.

Always say thanks
