I just do not get it! And before anyone says so... yes, I have the instructions printed off, IN HAND, as I spent hours last night trying to get Master of Orion to work.

Dell system, flat monitor, XP system.

If I take this in STAGES, so as to ensure people HELPING me (without burning you out?)... anyone willing to tell me what's wrong with the DOSBox instructions? I started file DOSBox, subfiles CDrive, Downloads and Files. Pasted Master of Orion into CDrive. I wrote EXACT into autoexec.bat, as the instruction said:

mount c c:\DOS\CDrive
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
C:
CLS

Nothing. After hours (so much for 'directions for dummies, eh? , using mount c c:\DOSBox\CDrive... I think it was... I actually got the C; prompt, rather than the Z: prompt.

But then, message stating something about not finding the freaking CD?!

With this XP crap... what... EXACTLY... do I need to type, per the above 'mount c c:...' blah, blah, blah.

And also, please feel free to THINK of me as ignorant! I am, CPU speaking! If you explain to me like I'm a child, I shall NOT get offended... I just want to play the damned game... can you people hear me crying??
