Constructor was one of the first pc-games i ever played on my 1st computer, so when i found it in a used games store i couldnt resist. But to my dissapointment it will not run on my current computer. The installation runs fine, so does sound configuration and tests, but when i try to run the game it says sound card not compatibleI have tried looking around this site for help, but im not a computer-wizz like all of you, so i dont understand half of it. Somebody please help!?

What's that "733 mgh"?

Anyway, are you trying to run it directly under Win98? If it's so, probably you should try to run it using DosBox!

What a prejudices!
You are sure that you installed the game sound driver correctly?
Look for an executable called setup.exe, sound.exe, and so on. Tell me if it's not present.
As far as I'm concerned, many dosgames are compatible with 98... but I'm 1.25% sure.

I'm not sure of anything... I installed the game like i normally would, followed the directions, configured the sound settings. Did the sound test it sounded fine to me. When i attempt to launch the game it says "error" and that i need 419k of memory to run the game, which i have.
I thought it would run fine when i bought it.

With mgh i mean megahertz, i dont remember the correct abreviation...
I dont have dosbox. Read the "how-to" and it seems to complicated for my skills to install it correctly... :eeeeeh:

Did you try to turn off the sound in the configuration, see if it'll run then?

No i didnt, ill get back to you on that. But i really would prefer to run it WITH the sound...

I used to change manually the amount of memory alocated to running DOS games - EMS, XMS, and whatever else was needed. You can try different settings when you right-click on the program icon.
