What can I do?

Try running it in Windows 95 compatibility mode. If that doesn't help, run this in DOSBox and the game through it: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...48&postcount=2

You're in windows dos command prompt there! That's not a dosbox window !!!!!!
You didn't put those ol'W3 files in there, I may hope!!!!
Can't you read?

If you really put those ol'W3 files in your sysfiles, I have no idea how you ever gonna clean that mess up.

To be really frank with you, dumping screenshots of your trouble doesn't give me more insight on what is happening...

Thought about goggling that famous error #21?

You have filled your windows sysfiles with a lot of completely obsolete DLL's, EXEs,COMs and INIs, and a whole lot more of that stuff ...... not one of those ol'sysfiles are compliant to a modern OS, ah well .... back to that game.

Also no idea what 'err 21' means.
But you shouldn't try to run games from a partition root in that ol'windows.
Try this:
create a folder on your C: (IN DOSBOX !!!!!) let say 'BA2220' or something (keep it simple and short), then copy all the files folders from your D: to that folder, and try to run the game from that folder on your C:

And a bit more details about this:

[Edit]
Have this game CD laying around somewhere, gonna take a look @this later today or tomorrow .... if I'm bored enough.

*Update*
Tried that game, even if it can run in dosbox/W3.x I can't advise it, it's a lot of hassle, you'll need compliant videa drivers (I used Tseng highres), you'll also will have to load share.exe from freedos, install VFW1.1, and some other nuisances ....

Easiest is to run it in VPC2007/W98SE
Notice:
Your CD MUST be the FIRST available optical drive. (or CD image, an ISO will do fine here)
You MUST install the game in VPC/W98SE
You MUST install VFW 1.1 in VPC/W98SE

If you do all that, game runs really fine in VPC2007/W98SE.






... no pain, no gain.
