DosFreak is right.Disable the GUI or options of it and try again. Protection programs such as Symantec or AVG may cause problems or conflicts with DOSBox. I remember having problems with a game, which i tried to run via DOSBox. AVG didn't let me install the game at all :shocked: .It may be that you …

I think i found a good solution for this game to make it "playable". I followed the instructions described above. Cycles 30.000+, Core:Dynamic and mouse sensibility 300+ (and mouse autolocked) seems to help a lot. But that all is going to help only if you have the patch for the DOS version of the …

When you tried to play with the windows patch did you set any compatibility mode? Try to play using Win95 compatibility mode.

I have played the DOS version of the game using the WinXP patch of Trylobyte.It works fine. All you have to do is install normally the game with DOSBox.Then apply in the created game folder the patch files. Set the the compatibility of v32tng in Windows 95 mode.You need to do that in order to get …

As I saw in other threads this game causes a lot of trouble. The game seems to freeze or crash at the beginning wenn the option "start new game" is chosen. And this happens despite the fact that the installation and the intro movie run without any problems. Finally i found out: The problem is caused …

So i played the game too in Win.3.1x under DOSBox 0.72. I had Win32s already installed but not WinG.Wenn the installer informed about the WinG and Win32s installation i selected cancel and did't install any of them.Then i rebooted. The game did run normally, played the movies normaly, without any …

That's why we mostly prefer the good old DOS way (thanks to DOSBox) 😎 😉

I think that it works great. But i surely will try to find out if it causes any problems to the game (time issues etc.).

You can google "7th guest win-xp patch" and you will find a site to download it. It was also available in the site of the developer company "Trylobyte" but the site (and the company) doesn't exist any more. I do have the patch and the original game CDs. I tried it and it works excellent. If you …

I installed the CD version of the game without any problems using version 0.72. It is really aukward indeed, that you such a problem with 0.72 have. But since you solved it, even using version 0.63, too it's ok. 😀

If you use a frontend such as D-fend reloaded you can easily configure the memory options and of course you can increase the base memory. I remember having memory or hard disk capacity problems with old games and i increased the amount of memory and HD space using the frontend's options. I have the …

That's right! Despite the fact that AVG informed: "the computer will be unprotected" as i shut the GUI down.

I solved the Problem! It was my antivirus programm (AVG) which caused the error message. I was sure that it was not a technical issue, because the error message came allways before the installation progress. I did presume that AVG could be the reason because i was receiving the message "unknown .exe …

Thank you very much for your replies.I didn't write more infos about my system, because i don't think that it's a technical issue.It's the only game that gives a so strange message. Anyway i will try a manual configuration and i will let you now if there's something new.😀 .

Very informativ indeed.

There is also the ESA organisation (Entertainment Software Association).Nobody mentioned it and the purpose of it's existence.The game produces of it's members (companies like Sierra or Lucasarts) are protected and therefore not allowed to be copied by anyone.What about the rest (non ESA-member …

Nobody had this problem before? 😕

When i try to install Time Paradox (Flair Software, 1996, Adventure) i receive the message "an installation error has occured, use install on exit". I use DOSBox and D-Fend reloaded and i've never had this problem before with any game. I mount correctly cd-rom and hard disk.Does anybody have reached …
