Hazekel - Thanks for the link, but I really don't want to buy another copy of the game I already own... and I tried your 2nd suggestion too. It didn't work because the game requires a config file that seems to be created only with install.exe. MiniMax - Oh sorry, I tend to forget these things... …

I just found this CD which I'd lost a long time ago. Obviously, it doesn't work (whimper). VDMSOUND - I get an error which says no media has been loaded (even with that CD-rom option in VDMs) DOSBOX - Really weird, install quits with a message saying "Hey Beavis, there's a Music CD loaded!". Reading …

VirtualPC? Is that any good? No massive slowdowns and not buggy (as I've heard)? Will play even games like Gabe Knight and Riddle of Master Lu with no major tweaking?

Quest Studios? I hadn't thought of that. Will do. And Dr. Riptide, I don't have much of anything else in the system tray - messenger, getright and FreeMemPro, and that's it - but I'll give it a go. And I do know about compatibility mode, I use it extensively.

I used to be able to play GK3 and realMYST in my XP. Now I can't. GK3 gives me some message about problems with resources - the Sierra site said the problem was with the CDs. But it's obviously not the case, as I can copy the files from the CD to the harddrive perfectly - meaning, the drive IS …

I can't get it to work right. Neither could I with DarkSeed, or Toonstruck, or whatnot.

First of all, I apologize if this has been answered already, for some strange reason I can't use the search feature. I've been trying to run System Shock 1 (the underdogs version, which seems to be a full CD rip) with VDMSound - I've given up on DOSBox a loooong time ago, as the sound never gets …
