DosBox should be utilised.
<Lifeform> can assimilate DosBox under following location.

<Lifeform>s unfamiliar with DosBox should analyze the official DosBox FAQ.
Basic Setup and Installation is a Priority One starting location for that task.
DosBox installation includes file "README.TXT". Contents of the file should be assimilated by <lifeform> prior to any attempts of interaction with DosBox.

Yep I'm having this problem too. It goes back to the intro and then Ricewind wakes and gets up from bed and you are stuck -- can't move, can't save can't load... *sigh* kind of sad hey?

I have exactly the same problem, and I'm running it on Windows XP. I can't skip the introduction movie, since my computers locks up completely, but if I wait until the movie has finished I can at least put the robe back in my inventory, but then I can't do anything more.
Is the game supposed to send you back to the beginning after the dragon ceremony?

Since so many people have the same problem is it possible that this is a bug in the version for download? Has anyone downloaded the game and gotten past this section?

Was really enjoying the game up to this point.

I saw Discworld II is abandonware now. Anyone know where it can be downloaded?

Underdogs.

After some hacking, I found the solution to the "missing english.smp"-problem in discworld (for those of us having downloaded the full talkie-version from underdogs/hotu):

When you run the unpack.bat-script, the error message is hidden from you. The problem is simple really: decode.exe can't be run under dosbox. It has to be run under a win32-environment. That's why some people have this problem, but for others it works splendid. So, just run the unpack.bat from an ordinary windows-installation, and you'll be fine.

The hotu-version also seems to be a patched version, and some of the bugs from previous versions has been removed (for instance the program changing catalogs after saving).
