You solve it by running dosgames in dosbox.
There are tutorials you could read to understand how it works. http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/forumdisplay.php?f=90

Mount your virtual C:
And double mount your games folder as CDdrive. My game folder is e:\games\kyrand2\ , so for me it goes as this: mount c e:\games\ mount d e:\games\kyrand3 -t cdrom c: cd kyrand3 runmain Or do what Luchsen said, seems also to work.
