He is still right.

Without more information there is no way we can give reliable help.

Wow, i didnt think anyone would reply back. Sorry for the long wait. Anyways my OS is Windows XP and i just recently downloaded the DOSBOX. I've always wanted to play the speech version of dreamweb since i lost it when i was little.

My DOSBOX version is 0.72. I've tried everything that i looked up on the internet. I tried normal mount and mounting the file on Daemon tools. When that didnt work, i tried img mount with DOSBOX and something different happens. The DOSBOX screen goes black and it looks like its about to start the game, but it just STAYS black.

Any help would be GREATLY appeciated, thank you.

Btw, i also asked for help in another topic. Sorry about that because i didn't think i would get help tbh

Did you configure the sound in the game prior to running it?

If it looks like it will start but doesn't then the first thing which come to mind is sound setup.

First, i downloaded the file from ISOCELLAR. I then extracted the two files (.BIN and .CUE). Then i put them in a folder called "dreamweb" and put them in C:
The commands i put in are:

Z:>mount c c:\dreamweb
Z:>imgmount d c:\dreamweb -t iso -fs iso
Z:>d:
D:>dreamweb

Then the DOSBOX fades into black.

Nope, not good, not good at all .....

Try this:

mount c c:\dreamweb
imgmount d c:\dreamweb\dreamweb.cue -t iso

Here I suppose your bin/cue is named dreamweb.bin/cue and are located in your c:\dreamweb\ folder ......

But you should consider another folder to use as virtual C:
something as c:\oldgames
your mount lines would then be:

mount c c:\oldgames
imgmount d c:\dreamweb\dreamweb.cue -t iso

Here I suppose your bin/cue is named dreamweb.bin/cue and are located in your c:\dreamweb\ folder ......
