Wow you're fast. Yeah, that sort of info is on page 3 of this thread but let me explain. I use Windows XP with DOSBOX and when I try to start mg (after mounting etc) it says 'bad program image'. when i type '_install' it gives me an echo with things like 'type \sierra'. Then when I type '\sierra' it says 'Unable to change to \sierra'. I'm not really good with computers so am obviously lost...:S

Ok, quite a few of Sierra's games MUST be installed in a folder named "Sierra". Re-install the game in (assuming your games folder is in DOSBox's C root directory) a folder with the path (from within DOSBox) C:\Sierra.

See if this did the trick

Thanks, I actually already tried this, another person on this forum gave me this tip. Sadly, it still doesn't work...

Try to re-download the game. You could be right that it is a corrupt download. Just don't delete the old one just yet.

[_r.u.s.s.]

problem is that the game MUST be in c:\sierra\mg directory
so if you run dosbox, it has to be virtual directory

for example, you download your game in to d:\games\sierra\mg
so in dosbox you need to type "mount c d:\games"

Thank you once more... Should I unzip the map, or leave it zipped?

I don't know how to use this software at all and I read all the things on the board to help me but I don't know what to do. I downloaded DOSBox and the Mother Goose game. I did was DOSBox said and mounted the file that the game is in. What do I do now?

Forget it. I was able to figure it out. I'm an idiot.
