I'm guessing because..mouses don't work on DOS programs, I don't think?

Had the same problem where Text did not show up. I finnally did something that fixed it in DOSBOX. I believe i simply went into teh file Setd.exe and then quit it.

I didn't change anything inside, but it seemed to fix the text on my screen...

Nope - mouse works fine with DOS-games, but for this game you need to run it in DOSBox - it's not WinXP compatible (mouse).

I have tried every suggestion on this board, and I still cannot get my text problem fixed Would someone please help me fix this problem before I go insane?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks anyway!

This game sounds so cool. I couldn't wait to hear that familiar Inspector Gadget theme. When I ran gadget.exe, I didn't get any sound and my touchpad didn't work. People on the msg board mentioned dosbox. Is that command prompt? I tried command prompt and still had the same issues. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Strange, I was playing around with opening some of the exe files and the pointer started working. Still couldn't get the sound to work. The setd file has sound card choices, but I don't know which to pick. I tried soundblaster and ibm internal and it didn't work. On top of that after open some other of the exe files the pointer stopped working and the game is discolored. It's quite difficult to make stuff work with new technology. Any ideas?

Of course. Use DosBox to run the game. You can download it here.
