tex murphy-UAKM help

I know the tex murphy games are a little bit sketchy on XP (Home Edition) but if someone could help me with this I'd appreciate it.
I have loaded Under A Killing Moon but am not having any luck running it. I've loaded it using run-install off the start menu and I've also loaded it using DOSBox 0.61. The two results I usually get is a blank screen that I have to CRTL-ALT-DEL to get out of or if i run it in DOSBox it will tell me there is no cd-rom drive available and abort the game. As I said, any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Craig,

Steve Metzler posts a column at www.quandaryland.com which helps get older
games running on Windows XP. His advice may help you to get Under a Killing
Moon running.

Go to www.quandaryland.com and click "Steve's XP Corner" in the site menu.

Hope that helps.
