I can't seem to get the Cryptic Passage expansion working for me. I open it using the shortcut on the start menu, DosBox comes up, and the whole screen goes black as if it's going into fullscreen like normal. But after a second, DosBox suddenly crashes to the desktop without any error.

Has anybody ever had this problem? Is there anyway that I can fix this?

It's most likely due to you not having proper rights to your installation folder. The Cryptic.exe will rename some of your art files, replacing original Blood files with custom files. To do this it needs full read/write/execute permission to the directory. The easiest way to do this is just run as administrator, but if you can grant yourself permissions to your installation folder, that would be best.

Running as Administrator made it work. Thanks!
I just wish I didn't have to remap the controls, though.
