Hello everyone, I need some help getting this game to run. I have the W3 installed into my Oldgames directory, and I have SimLife in the same folder. Here is a screenie of my folder:


When I run W3, I don't have a Oldgames folder showing:


What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any help, I have been wanting to try this game ever since I saw it. Next will be Wolf, if I can get this game working.

You're not doing anything wrong, it's just that Windows does not open its' file manager by default.
Go to Main -> File Manager.
I figure you could copy that link to StartUp or add shortcuts to the games to a new group in Program Manager - whichever works best for you, really.

Thank you so much. I had to find out where Main was, but now I can install the game.

When I try to do something with it it either crashes windows or when I try to delete it it say "Discovering items..." forever and ever... So. Any solutions? Because it's stuck on my desktop and is bothering me.
I know this is serveral years late but i recenly got the same problem as you. I tried every suggestion but to no avail. After much thinking and a lot of googling I finally found a solution that worked.

1. Open task manager and kill the process "explorer.exe"
2. Start a new task in task manager and type in "cmd"
3. Navigate to the correct directory where _ONTRES.FON is located (using cd and dir commands).
4. Type "del _ONTRES.FON" and rejoice as the hideous beast vanish from your computer. If if still doesnt work try running the command prompt as an administrator.

I know this answer most likely is too late to help you now but im still typing it so that people in the future may see it.
