Wow, i didnt think anyone would reply back. Sorry for the long wait. Anyways my OS is Windows XP and i just recently downloaded the DOSBOX. I've always wanted to play the speech version of dreamweb since i lost it when i was little.

My DOSBOX version is 0.72. I've tried everything that i looked up on the internet. I tried normal mount and mounting the file on Daemon tools. When that didnt work, i tried img mount with DOSBOX and something different happens. The DOSBOX screen goes black and it looks like its about to start the game, but it just STAYS black.

Any help would be GREATLY appeciated, thank you.

Btw, i also asked for help in another topic. Sorry about that because i didn't think i would get help tbh :(

Please post the exact commands you used that resulted in the freeze.

Did you configure the sound in the game prior to running it?

If it looks like it will start but doesn't then the first thing which come to mind is sound setup.

First, i downloaded the file from ISOCELLAR. I then extracted the two files (.BIN and .CUE). Then i put them in a folder called "dreamweb" and put them in C:
The commands i put in are:

Z:>mount c c:\dreamweb
Z:>imgmount d c:\dreamweb -t iso -fs iso
Z:>d:
D:>dreamweb

Then the DOSBOX fades into black.

Nope, not good, not good at all .....

Try this:

mount c c:\dreamweb
imgmount d c:\dreamweb\dreamweb.cue -t iso
Here I suppose your bin/cue is named dreamweb.bin/cue and are located in your c:\dreamweb\ folder ......

But you should consider another folder to use as virtual C:
something as c:\oldgames
your mount lines would then be:

mount c c:\oldgames
imgmount d c:\dreamweb\dreamweb.cue -t iso
Here I suppose your bin/cue is named dreamweb.bin/cue and are located in your c:\dreamweb\ folder ......

And you have to install the game to your HDD before playing.


D:>dreamweb

Then the DOSBOX fades into black.
D:\>install
c:
c:\>dreamweb

ok thanks a lot guys, i'll try all this out.

[Rubedo]

Oh my god, thanks so much guys! It worked! I've been wanting to play this ever since i was little and lost the CD. I got stuck on the hotel part and gave up playing.

Now i can play this classic again! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

thanks again everyone :)

[dosraider]

You're welcome.
Enjoy it.

Hmmm...I'm having a major problem installing this game(via windows explorer AND doxbox).

When I run install.exe the dreamweb program pops up and says cannot find valid drive to install the program to.

But 15 minutes ago it would install just fine(I had to uninstall and try again).
