I have the program. Not real sure how to set up the server or connect to it or whatever. I know I'm supposed to go to the irc.netmedia-netherlands.com server, just not sure where to enter that.

just to verify the .img file is there at the same location as well right?

Well, it doesn't have .img in the file name, but under "type" it says Disc Image File, so I'm assuming that's it, so yes it's in the same location.

You could try installing with MechVM again. This time, feed the .CUE to ...

Alright when I hit "install", it freezes up, and then later pops up with an error telling me it can't find the CD image or something. I'll try the DOSbox method in the meantime though. I do remember that I had a particularly difficult time with this and actually had to have someone do it for me ...
