My experience is that Daggerfall takes a very long time to load. I'm
talking about 10-15 minutes here. You can check on it by doing a
CTRL+ALT+DEL and checking on DOSbox. If it is running, you just need
to wait. Once it is loaded, it runs just fine. If you are seeing a
blank screen, then it is my guess that it is just taking forever to
load.
