You're welcome. :)

:smile2:
BTW, if you got it all working swell, now it's time to backup the virtual C where you installed W3, so if you completely screwup something it's simply a matter of copying the backup to get a working W3 again.

yeah you're right... i got the right drivers now and its working....currently tried 640x480 with 64k large fonts and 800x600 with 64k colors large and small fonts..all modes working....but 1 thing is holiday island is lagging...not that much that u cant play it evenly....but sometimes when you;re loading a saved game or starting a new map, the time between generating the map or loading it, the music lags for a microsecond, and also mapping around in the game is not that much smooth than what i am having in XP MODE through windows 7.....any ideas???

thanks....be my friend...... how should i make a backup of all this????

You're still on dosbox 0.73 I believe?
Update to 0.74
Kill everything that's running on the background and isn't really needed (I mean EVERYTHING)
If it still lags, you're on a crappy PC or your Windows is lame. XD

As last ressort:
-> kill the music ingame, can help sometimes.
-> change output= .... in dosbox conf file
-> read the dosbox tutos.

The fuc* .... ?
Copy the whole virtual C on a USB key? Burn the stuff on a CD? Copy to a 'backup' folder? And eat some vegies, that is always helpful.

system is core 2 quad q6600 @ 2.4GHz, 3GB DDR2 RAM, 512MB VGA...windows 7 ultimate....ok i'll try....downloading dosbox v0.74...

Your system should be sufficient to run it nicely.
Do you mount the CD image with imgmount directly in dosbox?
(look at the pics I posted earlier, I'm kinda tired of repeating the same over and over again here....)

If it still lags your Win7 is probably completely lame/overloaded with crap.
BTW, you may have as many 'cores' as you want, dosbox will only use a single one. So keep your system clean and again: kill EVERYTHING that isn't needed and runs on the background.

right now i am running that abandoned version of the game..i mean u know the version packed in zip files and these sites providing...u understand? coz the image version is in german....ok ill try that too......it is full game with videos and animations etc etc....let me check

Post your mount line.

its "imgmount f c:\holida~1.cue -t iso" and then it says MSCDEX installed.
Drive F is mounted as c:\doswin\games\holida~1.cue

What say you? and then in windows 3.11 drive F is loaded with this English Version of Holiday Island. And i can run it...but game sometimes lag....dont know why.....
