maybe thisll help

i think i can help you...
from what i remember windows 98 still has the dos itself so no need for dosbox
you just need to find where you run it from i cant recall but i used to use it allot at the time its accesible.
secondly this works for on dos box but you should try it out at yours as well, just type
"cputype 386" without the quotes ofcurse and then run the game. it should work logically thinking from my side.

I got the initial movie fine with the sound and everything, up
to where you pick the character you want to be, and once I pick
no matter which one, i get a black screen and no sound or
any action out of the game after that and have to re boot?

Any suggestions? I ran set up and selected SB for all the audio
stuff, tried starting in both DOS and Win, still no go. Is my
system too fast? I dont think I can use DOS Box in Win 98 SE but
not sure. Sound not an issue as far as I know. I found one
post about LOL III saying a black screen meant resolution was
not set correctly maybe this is it too. not sure yet, thoguh i would
check here for any ideas first.

Thanks :bye: :bye: :bye: :bye:

I want to patch our archive and re-upload it, but first I have to check the changes.

Can we put the patch to our site or give to people the edited .exe in the archive?

This worked. And it was there half a year before you asked the first time, Christian. :laugh:
