point when it asks for a disk it to the directory of dosbox. (or that subdirectory of the codec)
it should install fine then.

Oh and please waiting 2 hours and then bumping is really irritating.

Yes, very. And it's even covered in the rules:

Sorry about that, i really need to start reading the rules of forums i join ^^;

ok, it brings up the "zomgs terh is no disk 1 1 1" thing, i click ok and a window titled "copying files..." pops up. i click browse (creating another window), program files (apparently where my dosbox file is), dosbox, ZMBV. when i open the ZMBV folder, the term "ZMBV.DLL" appears in a box under the file name box, which also contains "ZMBV.DLL". i click ok, after highlighitng "ZMBV.DLL in the bigger box, and thaty windo dissappears. now it looks like i have everything in order, in the copy files from box it states the pathbname of the folder i have just selected. ok...i click ok and...
:wallbash:
the installation bar appears, fills up in a split second, and dissappears. no confirmation. how can i tell if it was installed? it doesnt appear in the DOSBOX folder..
