Default Shannara Problems

Hi Everyone!

I have a problem running this game. Every time I want to start it with shannara.exe the game exits with the following error: unable to allocate memory for the voice directory.
Does anybody know a solution for this? Thanks in advance for the answers, and greetings from Hungary.

Just tested the game in dosbox 0.72, default settings, runs perfect.

So: your mountings/settings are probably wrong.
Care to post your OS / mount lines / inputs?
Would be helpful to pinpoint where you go wrong.

me too, and i tried various configs, putting the game in various mount virtual dirs, c:\, c:\shannara, c:\whatever\shannara and all worked

by the way, the game control interface is terrible. i just sometimes wanna unclick an object and i always have to find an empty spot on map to do so, considering the fact that almost everything is clickable it turns into a devious pixel hunting

Right mouse button de-selects.

Portman, the game is a rip, and has no voices. But everything else is intact.

Don't change any of the settings at all, as the download is already set to work fine. Just download, and play. And enjoy.
