Thumbs up

I downloaded the game, Moonstone - A Hard Days Knight. It took me forever to find something to start it with because I couldn't find a set-up file. I finally got something to work, it showed a scene then asked for disk 1. I don't have any disks. I'm using Windows XP, and the compatibility for the game said it worked with XP. I don't have any sound either. I just subscribed a couple days ago and haven't had any luck getting a game to work yet. Reading your forum I found out I need something called a dosbox, so will research that tomorrow. I went through the troubleshooting forum and didn't find this question.

Thanks for any help,

juleekay

if it gives the same error in dosbox
you should mount the game directory as A:\

The fact that a game works in XP doesn't mean it works _well_. Try using DosBox instead, as - as Data said - mount the game directory as the A:\ drive.
