I've read quite a few posts, I downloaded DOSBOX and VDMS, but I still can't get it too work. I have the orignal cd, I installed it, but the "launch game" never turns yellow like it use to on my old pc. I tried doing the compatiability with 95, no go. I'm doing something wrong just don't know what it is, I think its with the dosbox,I d/led it and double clicked it and it went to a z:\> command prompt nothing else, am I surpose to do something in the z:'\ command prompt? or right click my c:\dg with dosbox, but don't know how, any help would mostly be apperciated, I figure you all got it to work with your pcs maybe I can too. BTW I have XP

Thanks for the input, I installed D-fenv2, now it says error: problem with CDrom please check c:\deadly. I saw Chickenhed's post of moving the patch and the edt file, but it still says problem with cdrom, I have the CD in so don't know what i'm doing wrong....too bad I don't have my crappy pc so I could just install and play. But any help will help me out thanks again

As for problems with CDROMs... sometime you can trick your system. I use Daemon.exe to "host" virtual cdroms. If you use Roxio to take an image of your CDRom, you "mount" it with Daemon.exe to a virtual CDROM. Then it should just be a matter of setting the variables for the program properly... i.e. telling it where the CD rom drive is supposed to be. That probably occurs when you set DG up.
Did you look on the VOGONS forum for DG specific settings for DosBox?
Edit: When you have your cd virtualized with Daemon its MUCH faster than in the cdrom bay because the seek time is so much faster on the harddrive than in the Cd rom bay. Just thought I'd let you know.

Alright I think i'm getting somewhere now, I tried to install the game through dosbox, but it would pop up something like, Please run INSTALL through root of cdrom. So re-install the game through windows under DG_INSTALL and I move all files from the cd to a new folder DG, than I took all the files from DG_INSTALL to DG folder, I edited the dos.config. CD.rom I renamed to D also edited it, but it already had D in the notepad, so I try to launch and now it says Cannot open Cd.rom - Not installed properly. So what am I doing wrong, I thought i was good with computers, but boy was I wrong. To Freakin, I double clicked on it when I first installed it, and it looked like it was going to goto the game but, it just stayed black, so I guess your a lucky one that it worked for, it hates me.
