E
P
C:\POOLRAD\
C:\POOLRAD\
N

But the game is installed in C:\DOSROOT\POOLRAD

The drive is mounted as MOUNT C: C:\DOSROOT.

can't you just change the config file then?

LOL OK. Actually you're right, I think the only missing step is to get the game from our site:

NO donation required to download!!
http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/61...+of+Krynn.html

I did the test with a fresh download.

Absolutely, you can change the config file. Years ago I changed the save directory to A: so I could save to floppy. I still have some of those long after those hard drives have failed.

@Japo perhaps you should add the info about that in the Review under Notes?

Japo	04-05-2013 06:37 PM

Yes I could, but it applies to several games with the same engine, so I think I'd prefer to move some of this to the Specific Games child board.

There is better solution: if you'll delete .cfg altogether, game will ask all needed questions again upon first start. :)

Continue the discussion here, unless you have more helpful technical tips that you can share on the new thread.

I got the insert Disk 3:\ error when making a character in Pool of Radiance... any ideas?

Japo	30-07-2013 06:13 PM

How are you starting the game? What command are you using, start.bat or st.exe? DOSBox mounts?

Make sure your game files aren't read-only
