Project Paradise: Limited handles

I've been trying to run this game with DOSBox but like many other users, I kept receiving the infamous message when running either the installation or game files: ERROR: Not enough system handles available! At first, I believed that the game was actually broken but a short perusal of the DOS …

Ultima VII

Hi, I've searched the forum for Ultima VII but could not find my problem anywhere so I decided to post it here. The fact that quotation marks don't narrow down the search does not help. Anyway, I installed the game via the CD image and already corroborated that EMS was set to false. Subsequent to …

Electronic Popple CD

Hello, I recently procured a CD of Electronic Popple and am trying to run the game via DOSBox. The problem is that whenever I start install.exe or popple.exe (produced using the Windows installer contained within the CD), the screen just remains black. Does anyone know of a remedy for this?

Re: CD audio & DOS Box.

Could you elucidate how you got it to work? I've tried mounting the One Unit Whole Blood CD-Rom to be greeted by a CD-Rom initialized and audio tracks found notification in Blood but upon entering the game, I could not hear any CD audio at all even though I had already made sure to throttle the …

Unable to change drive letters

in DOS
Recently, I've been trying to install some older games that require a specific letter to be mounted in order to be played correctly. Using Computer Management, I was able to change the drive letter of my D: disk drive to something else. However, subsequent to that, I still couldn't change my CD-ROM …

Re: I can't install Interstate 76, Gold Edition.

in Windows
You must make sure that the drive you have used to mount the image has the lowest letter in the alphabet (closest to c) of all your cd-roms. Eg. if you have a drive D: cd-burner and E: F: G: virtual drives, and you mount to E:, I76 will not run. You can either change the drive letters or burn the …

Internet problems

in Milliways
I've noticed that a connection problem occurs many times like when I try to update my DirectX or Flash Player. The thing is I perpetually receive a connection refused or something along those lines. This conflict also seems to be correlated with Internet Explorer as it can't display any pages no …

Re: Zombie Wars

in Windows
I read something similar on the messageboard of this site: http://hharry.netfirms.com/ It seems that the problem has a correlation with the DLLs but the problem is identifying the correct files.

Re: Zombie Wars & Alien Carnage

in Windows
Apparently, the save problem probably doesn't have any relation because I have already unchecked read-only for the folder and the problem persists. Others have complained about this as well, some of them might not have been DOSBox users. I'm sure the problem has to do with the version of the game …

Re: Zombie Wars & Alien Carnage

in Windows
I have Alien Carnage version 1.0 (Halloween Harry Special Edition) which probably isn't the latest version. Any idea where I could obtain an update patch? Somehow some other users actually claim to be able to get Zombie Wars to run fine on XP. Their message said to configure compatibilty modes to …

Re: Zombie Wars & Alien Carnage

in Windows
How about the problem involving the saves refusing to register in Alien Carnage? I'm sure other users were able to solve this problem easily. Using DOSBox 0.65 and D-Fend v2 to run the game, and I am also having the similar save problem in another game.

Zombie Wars & Alien Carnage

in Windows
I'm trying to run a game called Zombie Wars, the sequel to Alien Carnage on Win XP. The problem is I get Music & SFX but no visuals, in fact the screen just stays black the whole time. Currently I have Pentium IV 3.06 GHz and 512 MB of RAM. My video card is GeForce FX 5500. I also have the latest …

Re: Screamer 2

The game works alright for me except the setup won't work. When I execute the setup it gives me a black screen and after closing after a few seconds it gives me an error: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem C:\SCREAM~1\scream2\SETUP.EXE The system cannot open COM2 port requested by the application. Choose ' …

Grand Prix 2 Sound Setup

I got the ripped version of this game and I was wondering how I could run the sound setup. The setup requires for me to put a CD in and I can only find cracks to crack the game without the CD. I can run the game fine but I want to setup sound, how do I bypass the check?

Re: Dosbox emu & Baryon Shooter.

Sorry for reviving an old topic but I am also having this problem and I can't find a solution to it. I am using the current CVS of DOSBox and it goes back to main menu after beating the first level. The game seems to be unstable and when I went to the DOSBox games compatibilty list they indicate …
