Don't worry. Although I don't know how mny people agree with this tacit law, the latent danger of facing lawsuit demands from abandonware hunters such as Sierra is deterrent, and therefore I understand and respect any hesitation to deal with the issue.

Well, I actually am a lil' stupid, but also am using a pirate copy. I didn't think there would be copy protection by the time they made SoR. I mean, other ISOs have worked fine for me...

and if it doesn't work, to tell where it doesn't work (which command line) what they're trying to say is that maybe you have to install it on a hard drive, and maybe it won't like E:, and maybe it won't work with an image file, only an actual disk it seems to me that what you're missing is the …

I did the dir *.bat search, to no avail. I am positive I'm using Riva.exe, and there are no other .bat aside from Sound.bat, and Rivahelp.dat, which opens a manual-like executable, from which you can't launch the game. However, I did find this error log: ERROR: Not enough memory to play ! %ld more …

Darn, will keep trying Thanks so far Any other ideas?

Did you choose the path C:\GAMES\RIVA when you installed it with the INSTALL.EXE program? Normally, a DOS game like Riva would install into C:\RIVA. Sure that you are not running an old installation of the game? For the best result, I would create a new folder on your E:, e.g. E:\Kiss-Me and then …

There are three or four other exes: One for sound setup, one for registratior and stuff, one for uninstall, and one for a patch which doesn't appear to do anything, even after applying it after the last installation within dosbox. Upon further search, I've found another set of exes under a folder in …

Sorry for my bad sintax. I've reinstalled the game from DosBox, with drives D and C. I used imgmount d E:\Images\Realms_of_Arkania_3.iso -t iso mount c e:\ d: install.exe and then I used c: cd games cd riva riva.exe I had done so in my previous post, but I can see it was unclear. And then, the CD …

I meant i've installed the game already, sorry =)

My God, I've lured some heavy fish! I've swapped the mountings as you commanded. I've installed from the cd aswell, but the problem persists. imgmount d E:\Images\Realms_of_Arkania_3.iso -t iso mount c e:\ c: cd games cd riva riva.exe

imgmount c E:\Images\Realms_of_Arkania_3.iso -t iso mount e e:\ e: cd games cd startrai riva.exe Is this correct? The game now starts but it asks me for the CD. What should i do next?

Thanks for the replies. I installed the game mounting the cd with Daemon Tools. Not the smartest option, I admit. How should I install it with Dosbox? I'm not very keen at commands and stuff with this program. Thanks in advance.
