I've got to the point where if I execute the command, the game will try to start - that is, the screen res changes, but then it immediately exits. I'm suspecting it just can't recognise my modern GeForce card and can't set a video mode properly. |

It cannot be the reason. DOSBox is emulator - it doesn't use video (or anything) "as is", but emulate VGA or something.
So there could be 3 reasons. 1. Something wrong with the game itself. Did you try to re-download it? 2. Something wrong with the game settings. Try to change it, if you can. 3. Something wrong with the DOSBox settings. Check .conf file with text editor, and pay attention to "machine=" setting. It must be one of SVGA modes (svga_s3 is most compatible, and default, I believe). If nothing will work for you, I'll check the game myself. At home. |

2. Tried every game setting, no luck (the sound and video applications work, but the game istelf doesn't). 3. DOSBox is set to svga_s3. It also has no problems playing any other games. It's just not working. Exits out with no error when executing the command. It's genuinely trying to start but fails. Tried everything I can think of. |

Checked. Ah, great. It's a dirty rip, without lots of everything, cracked and assuming that game is in d:/3dp. (ANd maybe it expect to be CD too).
Anyway, doesn't work for me even in that case. Recommendations: kill it with fire and found normal, full CD-version. Ah, wait, you are not registered, so no any PMs. :| Anyway, you need ISO, and it googled easily. Checked it, worked flawless on the DOSBox 0.74. |
