Interactive CD-ROM I have gotten the Interactive CD-ROM and it's been impossible to install it on my computer. Since it is a 1994 release, I reckon there must be some adjustments to be made in order for it to work on a 2005 PC.
Does anybody know what I have to do for it to work properly? I would really appreciate any kind of help. Thank U, peace & be wild! | |

give us some more info:
What version of Windows are you running, what is the problem you are having, etc. Be specific with regards to error messages and such. Is this a work PC or personal? Do you have any Anti-Virus software installed? | |

It's good to play at least once, I can't get mine to play on XP. Got rid of my old computer that had 98 on it. | |

Doesn't XP have a "compatibility mode" to run old 95 progs? All orgnotes and emails requesting trades or how to acquire bootleggage will be ignored. - The ThreadKiller - | |

Yes - Program Compatibility Wizard, which is installed on most new PCs Don't hate me 'cause I'm NOT beautiful | |

You can simply play all the media clips by browsing the CD rather than actually playing the game to see them all. | |

Yes - Program Compatibility Wizard, which is installed on most new PCs I have also tried the program compatibility wizard, with no good results. If I execute "Install.exe" I get an error box with the "skip" and "close" buttons, and if I execute "Program.exe" I get an error box which says "Quicktime for Windows is not installed". That's not true, I do have Quicktime installed. I think it doesn't recognize my Quicktime version (maybe 2 new). I really would like 2 see the game, not just the videos, which after all, have poor quality and resolution. I just wanna see what a game looks like! HELP!!!!! | |

Number 1: It's not a dos game Number 2: If you install the quicktime included on the disc, it will run and not effect the QT you already have Number 3: Set your graphics to 620X(whatever it was) 16 bit. try these tips and it should run... If not... emale me at webmaster@thedawn2000.zzn.com Thank U _________________________________________

First of all, I can't install the quicktime included with the prince cd either. The only executable file in the folder "qtinstl" is "qtnotify.exe". I double click on it and nothing happens. I have re-installed my quicktime 6 and "program.exe" on the prince cd still says "quicktime for windows is not installed". "setup.exe" on the prince cd gets me an error box with the buttons "skip" and "close" as I told you. I have also looked for older versions of quicktime to download, but I can't find any. There has to be a way of executing it, or perhaps the one I have has some defect. I would appreciate your help. Thanx in advance, fourFIVEsiX | |
