I have been playing Warcraft II using DOSBOX for a month now and it just stopped working. It loads up but does not read the CD and therefore asks to insert the cd. Checked the cd and cleaned it, tried a couple different mounting methods, still no joy. I can read the CD fineI have been using the typical mount d d:\ -t cdrom and that had been working. Have restarted system and no joy. Any ideas?

You didn't install any crappy game from EA that installs some draconian DRM?

If you're using Windows XP or Vista, try adding the -ioctl to your mount command. Not sure if it'll help - never needed it myself in the past - but your mileage may vary.
