Hey,

I downloaded the file for Kings Quest 5 on my computer and it seems to work ok, other than the fact that there is no sound or music in the game! I dont know if I installed it correctly either. How can I access sound and music for the game?

Secondly, how can you see what kind of sound card you are currently using?

Thanks,

Scott

Here is what you need to do:

Run install.exe either with VDMSound or DOSBox so it can auto-detect your sound card.

First thing you need to do is to select your sound card. Select Sound Blaster and continue.

Unless you have a joystick and wish to see if it works with the game, select no joystick.

Then Select IBM-compatible keyboard. You'll have to do this twice since an error message will appear. This is not a problem, but a mere notice. I recommend you read it tough.

Enter Y.

Hit ESC because you don't need to install the game.

You are done!

To play the game, only start KQ5.bat with either VDMSound or DOSBox. I tryied VDMSound and it worked flawlessly.

Have fun!

I installed VDM sound and booted it up. How would I run install.exe with VDMSound? I selected sound blaster for the music and speech but I get neither when I load up the game.

When you right click with your mouse on Install.exe you'll have an option to select 'Run with VDMSound'.
