Hi!
I am currently trying to run this game in Dosbox, but it gives me an error saying it can't run in DOS mode/Win 3.1 mode. So exactly what do I have to do to make it run in Vista/dosbox? It seems that Quicktime won't install either when I try to do so :( It only gives me an error in the install process!
If there is a workaround in Dosbox then please let me know the exact details :)

Help wanted, and fast! I really want to play this awesome game now!! :)

Regards/ Chris

well, the game is made for windows 95 so you wont run it in dosbox. i personaly dont have vista but maybe there is some kind of compatibility mode like in XP? (right click the exe) or did you try running the game in pure vista?

and you ll probably need quicktime for vista, not the one on cd for windows 95

We'll it seems that there are no versions available specific for Vista, but I will try a Win XP version and let you know if it will work later ;)

and the game issue? what did it do/ didnt do when you tried to install the gam in pure vista?
also, maybe you d like to run the game on virtual machine since its made for win95 and you have vista

I did manage to install the game in pure Vista, no problems there. But when i launch the game the screen goes black (seems to load correct) as if it were looking for the Quicktime movie files which is used in this game. Seems like a script error to me. See my attached picture.

If you have the game then try to install it yourself and see what you end up with.

Try Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.

Can't do that as I'm running Vista Basic, and Microsoft Virtual Machine 2007 doesn't support the Basic version. Is there another way around? ;)

Either change to Windows XP or wait until Microsoft releases proper fixes for VPC 2K7.
