Excellent information and it is stickied.

This is great! I was able to play RTZ on my Win 2000 laptop (it didn't work on my XP)  for the first time in at least 6 years.

Is there any way to get the settings in Dosbox to stay? It seems like I have to redo the whole process, reinstall and start over every time I play.

As soon as I locate my copy of RTZ I will give this a try.  I hope it works, as it has been annoying not being able to play RTZ.  Thanks for the info.

if you edit the dosbox.conf file you can tell it to mount the CD drive and probably just have it auto set it for RTZ, you will probably need to comment the lines out if you ever use dosbox for a different game but temporarily it might work.

another note i forgot. turn off sound smoothing for better sound.
Siriusstar:at the dobox website there is a program called D-fend it keeps track of your mounts and games
