I have Windows XP home edition and I'm having trouble getting this game
to work. I can install the game just fine but when i go to run it I either
get the box asking me to put disc 1 in the cd drive but there is no cursor or
any way for me to interact with the box to let it know that disc 1 is already
in the cd drive or I get just the cursor frozen in the middle of the screen.
I've tried using DOSBox to load the game but I can't get DOSBox to read my cd
drive. (A box pops up asking me to put disc 1 in the cd drive, I'm able to
use the cursor here to click on the ok button but it just pops back up asking
me to put disc 1 in the cd drive). I realize this is an older game (meant
for Windows 95 and ms-dos) but if anyone can give me any help with this I'd
appreciate it.

Hi craig,

Before we begin troubleshooting the issue, if you have more than one
DISC player (CD/DVD/CDRW/DVDR/ETC) in your system, I've seen
this type of problem resolved by simply using the other DISC player. :-)

You might be successfull if you start the game from the CD setup menu.

Search http://vogons.zetafleet.com and search for "pandora" there are
plenty of threads explaining how to run Pandora Directive using DosBox.
