Problem loading this game...

I downloaded this game a few weeks ago, but today is my first chance to actually try and play it. I am able to boot the game, but the game window is small, and there is no sound. Can someone help me?

arete The easiest way is to create a shortcut to DosBox and put it in the game's folder. Then just drag and drop the game's executable onto the shortcut. It should run just fine

Gavindale Marchovia Honestly, I am new to DosBox as well - how do I start the game in DosBox?

But did you start the game inside DOSBox?

About loading Strahd's Possession...

I just downloaded Strahd's Possession, and it went down fine. But, I am having problems loading the game - I tried running various files for the game, but I am getting error screens. Can anyone tell me which file to run to play? Any help is appreciated!

Castle Ravenloft

Is anyone experiencing a bug in Castle Ravenloft?
The door that exits back onto the road inside the castle refuses to open.

Lets play youtube videos shows that the door automatically opens, but ive done my best to do this with no success.

No. FAT filesystem does not have anything to do with CDs.

I got the .iso to work, but not the .img. Obviously, It will not mount it as .iso in .img format.
Less than intuitively, -t iso covers ISO, BIN and IMG formats. If mounting the image is not working, a screenshot of the error message would be appreciated. According to DOSBox wiki, it also supports loading the images using the CUE sheets - if there's a CUE file together with the IMG, try mounting that instead. As a rule of thumb, you don't normally need to use the -fs switch.

Image Drive Mount

Alright, coolness, thanks! I used daemon tools lite. Magic disc is too much of an issue on Windows 7, it appears - or I just did not know how to use it right =)

I placed the IMG in a virtual drive, now it runs just fine, as I can mount it as a CD image.

That said, if it were not for the VERY EXTENSIVE and kind help, my nostalgia, my basic computer knowledge and the fact I have planned D&D and clones thereof for many years, I may not have been obsessed/willing enough to go forward. An ISO in the extras, along with instructions for setting up virtual drives or using virtual drive software is a must for the casual Abandonia user.

Thanks again to all. I will have to set up detailed thanks on this thread. For now, I must play the heroes... going off into the mist!!! Strahd awaits.
