I bought Pandora Directive today and I can't get it to run. When I double click on the shortcut, dosbox starts and then there is an error that says "No cd drive available" hit any key to exit.
I'm on vista.
Please help!
Thanks,

dllonsdale54: HI. IM NEW HERE ,,IN PANDORA DIRCTIVE WHERE TEX IS GOING AFTER THE ARROW KILLER ON THE ROOF,,EVERYTIME I TRY AND DO WHAT IT TELL ME TO DO IT SHOOTS AND KILLS ME ,,IS THERE ANYWAY AROUND IT ,,, HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

the answer is get down low, use the ctrl key.As soon as you arrive on the roof hit the ctrl key & run up the stairs & down the stairs & hide behind the air conditioner & then run towards the wall.

the shift key brings back to normal eye level

I had difficulties even after following these instructions as well, but finally got it to work:

by changing "MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom" to "MOUNT D K:\ -t cdrom", where K is my cd-rom drive.

EDIT: FWIW, this game is on the GOG list of games that don't run on Win7 yet. I'm running it on XP.
