Hi all. I have been trying to play Space Quest 4 and 5, but for both games when I try to run the game I get this error, "Couldn't install video drivers!"

I am running a 1.4 Ghz Pentium
256mb RAM
Win2k Pro
DOSBox

Please help!

Thanks

Yes, I don't understand it..

I've played several other games, like King's Quest 5, and they all worked fine.

I have tried everything I could think of, but I can't get past that error :angry:

Just to make sure, you're not trying to install the game, but to run it after you unziped archive?!

You don't have to install the game, but just to unzip it, and start SQ4 or SQ5. It's already installed.
