I found my favorite game of all time (for back in the day) and yet don't know how to install it. I unzip the folder and put it in my C drive and when I open it there's icons like install, setup, S2,s2edit, and I click S2 and it comes back saying that it can't read com2 or something. Basically it's not working and I'm about to
 My computer. :help: email me if you want: someemail@yahoo.com thankyou for all your help! :Brain: Email removed per the "Send me game X to my email adress" rule for newbies. Come back here for the answers or ask for PM's. -Eagle of Fire |

If you are running Windows XP, then try DOSBox or VDMSound.

this has been explained so often before...
CLICK THE IGNORE BUTTON! there, I hope it helps  edit: maybe I should write a trouble shooting guide for this game, since people keep asking the same questions over and over...

Ignore button will not help you with the sound on XP.

I always used VDMSound to play Settlers 2 on my Win XP machine and this without problem.

As far as I know, you can't have DOS game sound fx and music under winxp. Most of the times it will not recognize the cards. But if you have it run that way, then lucky your!

In this case you can, and I have installed and setup this game on many XP comps. I have never had any problem with the sound. Actually, in my opinion Settlers II runs better on winxp, then on any old operating system, even DOS.
oh yeah, a small note Dos game sound effects are very possible on WinXP, if the game can handle it. Since Settlers II was made to run on older windows versions, it can figure this out.

Must be some sort of fix in this archive, as I remember installing it on my XP some time ago from CD (gold edition) and I could not get trough sound setup without VDMSound.
