Root of drive: what you get when you double-click on the drive in Windows Explorer.

If you can't find the directory in the root of your drive, try using Windows' search function to locate any files modified the day you installed the game.

Are you referring to the (C drive, seen when I click "My Computer" either on the Win95/98 Gateway, or newer XP?? If so, been there many times, just never knew the proper term was "root of drive"..If that's what you meant. Even if it isn't, I found the AUTOEXEC.BAT folder, referred to. And some others that refer to DOS when opened. (poking around with the newer machine, not the Gateway)

In the Autoexe. file, on the XP, it has the compatibility mode box, UNCHECKED. When I hook up the Gateway, Win95/98, should there be something be in the MODE window. And also the DISPLAY SETTINGS. Nothing. Can I assume it's the same on the old Gateway and that I should enter something. The old Gateway has never played a DOS game or even been booted to DOS.

When DOS was installed in the old Gateway, the large, hi res LCD monitors didn't exist. Should I do something with the res setting?? Some forums make reference to monitor problems. Any thoughts.

I continued looking through all the folders in the (C drive. There is no sign of the Xeen install. I didn't modify any files when I installed the game. I don't know what the game did while installing. I tried the SEARCH, but, wasn't sure what file to search for. I had tried a couple of C:\Program File searches using different names, Xeen, the company and so forth, but no luck. Will give it another, more through, look see.

Do you know what I should have typed in the SEARCH window?? bye
