And yes, your guess is quite correct - choose Sound Blaster Card. |

It has music: Roland MT32, MT-100, LAPC-I, CM-32L. or CM-64. My computer has a multimedia sound card on the motherboard (ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA AM2, etc.) There are also other choices: Make bootable floppy disk Accept these choices and save configuration Cancel installation and return to DOS I'm finally getting somewhere!

I didn't see Sound Blaster 16 I highlighted the music choices, pressed enter, and it gave a list of 5 choices that had checks beside them indicating that these choices were supported by my system. Of these choices, one reads Sound Blaster Card and the other is Sound Blaster / AdLib card (or compatibles). Do I select Sound Blaster Card? |

To supplement Midget's post above. If there are any options for sound setup, set them as follows: Sound Blaster 16 IRQ 7 DMA 1 Adress 220 h |

exellent. ok, type install and see if there are any setup for sound in that program. If not, exit. Then type krondor. That should start the game. Oh, and I forgot about the * in *.exe. Sorry. The * is a wildcard, substituting any character, so by typing dir *.exe the computer looks for any exe file regardless of its filename. *.* makes the computer look for any file with any filename and any extension. |

The symbols just show what types of files they are. If you have "show file extention" enabled in folder options, you will learn quickly what the different symbols mean. For instance, the icons that look like blue windows usually mean they are executable files (extension EXE), that is a file you can run, in other words: A program. The icon looking like a blue window with a cog wheel can be a batch file (extension BAT). A batch file is an executable file with a set of instruction, often used to automaticly run a set of exe files in a particular order. However, in DOS (DOSBox you won't see these icons and all you have to think about is to look at the extensions when you type dir. |

The folder you were supposed to rename in the first place was the unpacked one (ie the one without the zipper). Quote:
Now back to the problem... close dosbox and restart it. cd betrayal then dir *.com dir *.exe dir *.bat And run the filenames these three return. If none are returned, dir *.* to see if the directory doesn't happen to be empty. |

I was in the middle of replying and had to stop and change the batteries in my cordless keyboard! Okay, I went to the file and when I click on it I get the same 22 symbols. (Labeled: GAMES, ADL, DRIVE.CFG, FRP.SX, GENMIDI, INSTALL, INSTALL, INSTALL, KRONDOR, KRONDOR, KRONDOR, KRONDOR, MT32, README, RESOURCE, STARTUP.GAM, STD, SX.OVL, TEMP.GAM, VMCODE.OVL) I'm sure you know they have different symbols in front of them (and I have never learned what they mean). |
