James (Guest) (7 posts) Feb-11-04, 09:58 AM (Pacific) "Wizardry 6 problem, Windows 98." My problem is an odd one... whenever I install it off the UWA CD, the game works fine... Until I use the Install program to configure the game. It doesn't matter what I change (I once changed the EGA graphics to CGA), it ALWAYS happens that afterwards, the game will always lock up when I try to run it following this. It works fine in DOS, save for I need to turn the volume WAY up. but I need it to run in Windows so I can take snapshots of it for a review (as it is, I'm thinking of just letting it stay silent).   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

And I've tried turning off the sound--but the fact is, even if I go through and reverse all the changes I made, it'll tell me to run it in DOS unless I re-install the game (which I have and haven't touched vinstall since).   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Turn off the sound" try making a shortcut to it, right click the new shortcut -> properties -> program tab -> Advanced button uncheck "suggest MS-DOS mode as a necessity", and try the first option, "prevent MS-DOS programs from detecting windows" as well.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

James (Guest) (7 posts) Feb-12-04, 00:40 AM (Pacific) 4. "RE: Turn off the sound" Tried it, didn't work. I think I'll just have to live with playing the game without touching the config on my desktop PC. The only thing I can think of is to edit the configuration without using vinstall.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
