Code: Select all

mount c: C:\oldgames
mount d: L:\
D:
dig (or game executable)

Should be:

mount c: C:\oldgames
mount d: L:\ -t cdrom
C:
cd dig *or game folder name*
dig
Notice:
-> CDs mounted in dosbox need -t cdrom command to load mscdex and work correctly.
-> In dosbox, just as in dos times you mount a C: and CD as D: ,many games will only work correctly with those mounts, can avoid a lot of problems, all your other posted weird mounts: forget them.
-> You must always use the same mounts ( C: D: ) when installing ànd running the game, even if it should mean you have to delete your installed game and start over from scratch. Installing dosgames should always be done within dosbox.
-> also notice that most (except some rare exceptions) dosgames are started from C:\gamefolder\ , not from D:

-> I also miss some really important details in your post, as are:
OS?
Dosbox version?
