Well... This is a strange problem.
I just downloaded the game and installed it with DOSBox. I used a different directory than the one I unzipted it to, to make sure that everything goes well. Using Dosbox 0.73 to start the game after the installation, it works flawlessly and on first try. On installation select VGA 16 colors (the first one), then select soundblaster for sound. The rest is up to your preferences and unimportant. So... Now you need to find out what you did wrong or don't work. |

Decrease the cycles DOSBox is running at. Sometimes too high cycles can make a game unstable.
Run LOADFIX before you start the game. |
