Ok, thank you so much so far, I really appreciate it. Still though, I'm not able to run it. I'm getting closer though! It starts up for about 2 seconds, then cuts out and tell me to check out the error log, I did and it said this:

**** Error log ****

Albion v1.38 (created on Jul 25 1996 12:39:09)
Executed on Sat Dec 31 14:27:23 2005

BBERROR: ERRORSTACK START:--------------
Sound: AIL error : XMIDI sound hardware not found

BBERROR: ERRORSTACK END-----------------

More help would be awesome.

You need to run setup.exe or install.exe or whatever program there in Albion-folder to set up your sound card and music card, the error tells you that the game doesn't find a music card because you didn't set on up ;)

:kosta:
YES! Thank you all! I've finally got it working! You all have been great help! Thanks so much.

Hope it's okay to use this topic also since I have a pet peeve with the same game. I got Albion to run just fine off of windows (XP pro) but after about 5 minutes of play time it just closes. The first time that happened the windows error said something about an NDTV error if Im not mistaken. Or is it that my pc is on the dated side.

my specs
os Windows Xp pro
AMD K6 3d processor 500mhz (dated I know)
120 mb Ram
directx 9.0
trident video accelerator blade 3d

I know my system isnt powerful enough for dos box so I was hoping that I could get around it. Any help would be appreciated.

p.s thanks for providing 5 days a stranger, and 7 days a skeptic.

Not powerful enough for Dos Bos? Doesn't look like an intensive program to me?

I can run dos box...if I wanted too but with the processor I have the game will run slow. Anyways I've read in another topic on Albion of other windows Xp users having this same problem but no solutions.
