mount them using IMGMOUNT A P:\A\T\H\IMAGE1.img P:\A\T\H\IMAGE2.img P:\A\T\H\IMAGE3.img -t floppy, where P:\A\T\H\ is the path to where the images are present and IMAGE1 through IMAGE3 are the names for the successive IMG files.
You'll be able to access images' contents as floppy drive A and cycle between the images using CTRL + F4.

Must be:

mount c c:\users\your_name\oldgames\
c:
cd lof
lands

Forgot the c: (should someone else need this)

About your crash: no idea,sorry.

That worked!

Cept it crashes right after I pick my character

Could you perhaps try the game and see if it's the files? Figures, I've been looking for this game for years

-> install dosbox in c:\users\your_name\dosbox-0.72\
-> create a c:\users\your_name\oldgames\
-> use for lands of lore: c:\users\your_name\oldgames\ lof\

mount c c:\users\your_name\oldgames\
cd lof
lands

If you have spaces in your name use
mount c "c:\users\your_name\oldgames\" * Use the " " *

I tried every variation of "C:\Oldgames\Landsoflore\LANDS.exe" I could think of in DOSbox, nothing worked

I would love to not use it since I can't find it, but the guide you wrote goes by it

Theres 2 links via wiki, ones here which doesnt seem to work the other is "vetusware". I got it from there, but it's 3 .img files which do nothing when mounted?

I'm at a loss...

I have vista,
I have the game files,
I have DOSbox,

Please help me play my fav game

NC isn't an absolute neccesity, but still handy to have around.
You can find a copy through google : http://www.google.pl/search?hl=en&sa...oad%22&spell=1
Wikipedia also has some d/l links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Commander

Not really, there are more 64 bit OS you know.

One advise: If you don't have really full admin rights install dosbox in your own documents folder instead of in the X86 sub. Same for the oldgames folder.
Will avoid you protection problems.

Is there any chance there's a 64bit dosbox program,

There is only a 32-bit version of DOSBox. Which is compatibile with 64-bit systems.

or any chance I can get around needing one?

What would you need one for???
