in windows98 it will* start okay but when like it says in the review you get to copy protection and press enter like the review says to it will go onto the company info loading* screen and freze up
no it wont. you should give it more time to progress to next screens. to me it only freezes when i exit the game.
however it work fine in DOS. so if you have win 98 it's all easy.
1. start your computer
2. immediatelly start pressing F8 untill you get a menu where you can select which OS you would want to start your computer in. there will be a few options, such as WIN safe mode, Normal, with confirmation, Pure DOS (no drivers!), Dos mode...
3. Select to start up computer in Dos mode (the one with drivers not pure one)
4. go to your kingpin folder. use command: CD. Example: "CD KINGPIN" will put you in your "C:\kingpin\" folder.
5. start the kingpin


Either you do all that (really simple) or you create a boot disk using Abandonia boot disk. That will also make it work perfectly. k:

Steve2theO Thanks for the suggestions but I don't have windows 98. I tried to running it like the first reply said but it said it couldn't find or create a temporary file needed or something along those lines. Well if anyone gets it to work let me know

I dont know if anyone else has had trouble with this game or not but I can't get it to run properly. I install it and it seems to be ok but then I run the game and get through a bunch of the screens but it always freezes at this one blue screen with squiggly lines. If anyone knows anything about this please post something. Thanks
Try to use Virtual PC if you want to run it on win98
