Running Discworld II (from CD) on XP via DOSBox 0.72. I used the instructions here: Discworld II and Windows XP and my game starts with this:
z:> mount c c:\discworld
z:> mount d e:\ -t cdrom
z:> c:
c:>dw2.bat
(works the same if I do "mount e e:\ [...]")

The game runs almost perfectly - sound works, saves work, play stutters only slightly. However, in only 1 section of the game - trying to enter the Mortuary from Shades (and only here) - DOSBox closes but announces no errors.

Any suggestions?

Just maybe this is a bug infested section. You *could* try different things, like disabling music/sound, maybe changing dosbox cores or such and play through this section and then enable stuff again after this.
I'm just shooting in the dark, I have no idea if that helps but it just might do the trick.
