it says "unable to change to directory \priv" what am i doing wrong???

I had a similar problem because dosbox uses the normal DOS names (8+3 characters), which means that if you installed Privateer in a directory with a longer name, dosbox will not be able to mount it...

In my particular case, the directory (Windows XP long names) is:
c:\games\wing commander\privateer which I "translated" in dosbox.conf as c:\games\wingco~1\privat~1

However, I think this noems error only appears when the game is launched, so I'm not sure your problem is really related to the directory name.
