[The Fifth Horseman]

Depending on the specific Windows version, the directory permissions may only be accessible in the Safe Mode.

Isn't there a way to move whatever files I need to play the speech from the disc to the Abandonia version?

What is exactly your C mount line?
And a screenie of the mounts and the error message could be helpful.
It's not normal that you can't install the game.

Also:
From your dosbox C prompt input:
dir > dir.txt
Post a screenie of the result.

[Edit]
The game is listed as ISO in the ISO cellar, did you try to mount the ISO directly with imgmount in dosbox?

I managed to get it to go on an old pc. Thanks for the help. I don't know what the hell is wrong on my Win 7 rig, but I no longer want to mess with it.

The voices aren't that big of a deal, and I kind of prefer Anvil of Dawn anyway. I have just recently discovered how to use DosBox, so there are a bazillion games I want to try. I can run some, as I said, on my old pc, but it's down in my nasty basement.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I just took to playing through this first game of the series again, and I chose Kieran, since I've never done that before. And it strikes me: Why on earth did they make a character like Kieran? Is it deliberate (which is plain dumb) or a programming error? I mean, the guys' stats are the wort of the bunch in every respect, he has no miht, no magic, and even his so-called quickness is absent. He' talking about dodging blows, but his protection score is the lowest of them all!

Why on earth did Westwood do this?

Probably to integrate a character who's a part of the game world, as hulines are.

He is meant to be the all rounder, jack of all trades master of none. He his also the canon character who won the game.

But Conrad is the jack of all trades, and a good one at that.
Kieran is a jack of no trades. I just wonder why they made such a dumb choice of character? Who in their right mind would go for the lowest abilities in the game?

Conrad has a protection skill of 12, the highest in the game. Kierans skill is 6!

Well I don't think he is dumb and I know a few others who love him too. As far as I know he does have some benefits, but I don't know a lot about the game to be sure. And as I said as stupid as he might seem to be to you others do like him and he was the character who did everything in the game according to LoL2 and LoL3.
