I've also been having the game crash on me when that bottle breaks after falling, can someone please help us?

If you are running the game in the lastest version of dropbox, the problem may be solved by using Dosbox ver. 0.73 instead.

You can find it here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/dosbox/

Let us know if this solves your issue, this is one of my favourite games and I'd hate for somebody not to be able to play it

Thank you very much Lulu_Jane! Your solution has indeed fixed the problem. =). I do however have one more request, can you or somebody else tell me how to configure D-Fend Reloaded to use DOSBox 0.73 for the sake of convenience?

IIRC, DFRL is as close to plug and play as you get with a frontend - just point it to a game and it _should_ identify it and add it to the list of available titles.

Not that I care much for DFRL, mind you. Setting up Norton Commander inside DOSBox works well enough now, just as it did on true DOS PCs in 1990's.
