This topic is probably long dead, but I followed the special installation instructions to fix the garbled sound... now I get a stack overflow error! What's the solution to this?

You are using DosBox, I presume?

Indeed I am. In fact, I'm using d-fend to help me along... any special settings I should use?

Try running it without D-Fend. From what I've heard, D-Fend can sometimes introduce crashes and errors which do not occur when running "pure" DosBox.

Nope, didn't work. It simply showed the opening disclamer, then the screen that appears after you quit the game, then Dosbox closed itself.

What exactly did you do? Step-by-step, please.

I installed the game by downloading the "other" file that was mentioned earlier, then mounting that folder as a floppy disk on Dosbox using the -t floppy command.

I installed with all the settings mentioned earlier, most importantly using Realsound and EMS/XMS memory for graphics.

Here's where I ran into my first problem: The folder that the game installed to was named LD2. This prevented me from moving the exe file from Abandonia into the folder, because it said it was already in use. And because the above folder was write-protected, I was unable to rename it.

So I reinstalled the game using the "other" files into a folder named LD2G. This allowed me to copy Abandonia's exe file over the installed one.

Then I set up the new profile with D-fend, and got the stack overflow error. I tried using loadfix, just to be safe, and it totally froze my entire computer.

Then I dragged the LD2 file onto dosbox, and it crashed.

I tried doing it by myself, mounting C:, going into LD2G, and running the game. It crashed Dosbox as well.

So... yeah, that's all.

I really need help. I can perform Subdural Hematoma operations fairly easily but once I try my hand at brain tumour or aneurysm operations I fail.

I open up the scalp and then I hook up the irrigation but as soon as I pick up the drill and try to drill on the so called "extreme right" it says that i skidded the drill, but i didn't actually. Am i drilling the wrong place? Can someone post a screenshot so i can know where to drill?

I was having this exact same problem and read back several pages through the forum for the answer. You can activate the drill by pressing and holding the enter key. If you use the mouse and it doesn't stop, try tapping enter also. Sometimes I forget. Hope this helps.
