Well,i try to use the install.exe on my floppy and it just give me an error saying
'install encountered an error installing DEARJ.exe'
can any1 tell me what im doing wrong?
im not using a DOSbox)

If you're not using DOSBox, you will have to tell us about your OS and system.

Which version of the game are you trying to run?

actually on second thoughts nvm,resolved the problem
(got DOSbox :P )
If i hav any problems running the game i'll let u kno

2nd problem... :(
as soon as the intro movie finishes the game just freezes up
oh ye,and i still havn't actually used the installation executable yet
Well,my system is windows 2000,..my OS..iv got no clue what that is

OK this is a classic problem. Just use the install program to set the soundcard before playing. Bad sound settings is probably the reason why it freezes. Then try to find a combination of settings that works. Dos-Box emulates an old sound card because your sound card is not one of those recognized by the game. So try different settings, a different choice for sound effects and music would probably be be a wise move. My settings for instance are : Soundblaster for music and Sounblaster pro for sound effects. With some little fiddlin' around you should find a combination that works. Good luck ! :ok:
If you really can't find any other solution try playing the game with no sound (both settings on : none).

ye,that's all and well,but when i try to install it gives me the same muck about 'problem installing DEARJ.exe'

rite nvm,iv solved pretty much everything,thx 4 all the advice
