I've got it working at last! Thanks for your help. I'll let you know if I have any problems in the future.

Excellent, nice job! If you can, share what ended up working in case anyone else runs into it!

I did notice a typo in the mount lines, in case anyone else in future is trying to duplicate your success: c apparently was getting mounted twice:

mount c c:\OLDGAMES
mount c e:\ -t cdrom
c:
INSTALL

That last c probably should have been d, but you obviously figured it out if that typo was the problem in dosbox and not just the post. :)

Correct:
mount c c:\OLDGAMES
mount d e:\ -t cdrom
d:
INSTALL

I did take typing courses however never got a career typiing for a reasonable time frame hehe

My instructors and employers always tells me I get typos so I never became like that one lady who types 90 words a minute as a professional secretary. hehe

So much for taking the easy way out huh?!hehe
God, Jesus Christ, is number one!hehe

The mount lines that worked for me:

core dynamic
cycles max 95%
mount c c:\OLDGAMES
mount d e:\ -t cdrom
D: (that's not a typo.)
INSTALL

I don't know why that worked but it did. Also, you need the CD in the drive (Drive E for my computer) at all times. If yours isn't E then try replacing e:\ with whatever your disc drive is. It should fix the speed problem and any other issues you have. After it's installed, use:

C
CD\STTNG
STTNG

That should launch it.

Another problem. Sorry.

Hi. It's the same guy from before (Adam 19842004.) I have a new problem with the game. It's the same mount lines and system as before:
Windows Vista Service Pack 2
DOSBox 0.74

core dynamic
cycles max 95%
mount c c:\OLDGAMES
mount d e:\ -t cdrom
D: (that's not a typo.)
INSTALL

I used these mount lines to install, as I told you a couple of weeks ago, and it worked fine. I have a saved file now that I've played it once. I haven't played it since the first time I got it to work. So I tried to run it today, instead of installing it, since I already installed it. I used the mount lines:

moun c c:\OLDGAMES
c:
cd sttng
sttng

At first it appeared to work, but, just before the game started, this message came up:

Fatal error. Could not find resource file - check CDpath in sttng.ini

I don't want to re-install because it might get rid of my saved game. How do I get it to launch without encountering this problem, or reinstalling it? Also, I couldn't find a file on my system or on the CD called "sttng.ini".

You probably still need to mount the cd drive and put the cd in - the error message appears to be saying it can't find the cd.

Try this, just adding the red line to what you have (and put the CD in the drive!):

mount c c:\OLDGAMES
mount d e:\ -t cdrom
c:
cd sttng
sttng
