Hey no problem, it's a legit question. The problem is that I'm running this on a SCSI CDROM drive (it's a Pinnacle CDR actually) and I have no idea how to set this thing up for a DOS session. I suppose I'm going to have to ask Pinnacle, but they're a last resort assistance situation. Not real helpful those folks. Basically when I go to DOS I only have a mouse, no CD whatsoever. When I do a Win98/DOS window, I do have all the needed drivers, but no sound effects. It's weird, no sound but I get music? But the CD does work so I could install the game with no problem. When I set up my icon to really drop to DOS (not a window) it just locks up. I'm it's because it tries to hit a CD that doesn't exist for my DOS session. But keep those ideas coming! And thanks.
