Is this a problem with my laptop/game version or am I seriously doing something wrong?

It's just a bug in DosBox. It's been there for ages, unfortunately.

You can choose one of two solutions for this:
1. Turn off sound effects. (But what fun is that?)
2. Use ENTER on the keyboard to drill instead.

I recommend doing #2, not just because sound is nice to have, but because, if you take your hand off the mouse to press ENTER, it's impossible for your hand to slip (a very bad thing when operating a drill!). You can use the ENTER key on the numeric keypad, too, which is right next to the mouse if you're right-handed.

More specifically: I flip the skin flap, drill the burr holes, I dissect them, I saw the line between them, I remove the bone plate, bone-wax and cauterize the bleeders, smooth the sphenoid ridge, bone-wax the bleeders again, place the metal ribbon, make the small suture holes on the skull, then I place back the bone plate into place to make the suture holes in it as well, I drill the suture holes, but as soon as I pick the bone plate back up to place it on the tray, the mouse disappears and weird lines of color appear wherever I move it. If I actually manage to place the bone plate on the tray, the whole tray becomes nothing more than a series of strings of messy colors, and I have no other way to solve the issue than exit the surgery.

I'm running the game on DOSbox 0.63 installed on a Windows XP operating system... anyone else had the same problem?

I have had the same problem too. i highly recommend drilling the suture holes in the skull AFTER you remove the tumor or treat the aneurysm. ONLY PUT THE SKULL FLAP DOWN ONCE IF YOU DON'T WANT THAT PROBLEM AGAIN.

1. Download DOSBox.63
2. Install DOSBox.63
3. Download Life and Death 2 - The Brain (from this site)
4. Extract the downloaded file (you'll get a folder)
5. Make sure this folder is named LnD2
6. Move this folder to c: (so it's only C:\LnD2)
7. Run DOSBox
8. Type the following (and press enter at the end of each line):
mount c c:\
c:
CD lnd2
ld2

And there it should be!

I'm at step 8. I typed "mount c c:\" and pressed enter, then I typed "c:" and pressed enter, then I typed CD "lnd2" and pressed enter. Everything was proceding until I reached the last part. When I typed "ld2" and pressed enter, it just says "illegal command ld2" on the dosbox. The game doesn't start. Why is this happening??

Hi all! I've been playing this game for a while and love it. One thing I don't know is, what do the coloured buttons around the EKG screen do? When I press it, the colours change, but I have no idea what that does.

Is there an ending to this game? I've just entered the Hall of Fame in all 3 operations, but the game seems to continue as if nothing special have happened.

Must I change difficulty? I'm playing the default "Novice", LD2 is hard enough as it is . Or perhaps try Nightmare Mode?

So, is there any "formal" ending, with credits and etc? How?
