The game i want to play is in C:\Downloads\ptrooper\ptrooper.com - How can i launch it in dosbox? It still shows at Z:\, won't let me mount C.

After starting DOSBox, issue these commands in order:

MOUNT C C:\Downloads\ptrooper\
C:
ptrooper

Thanks, was able to run the game. Couldn't quite get it to run at the correct speed, but close enough.
