What do you mean by "update"? As far as I know Virtual Surgeon is still for sale.

I was thinking if maybe someone has found a place to d/l it..

This is a respectable site. If the game is still being sold NO ONE here would post such a link even if one might find it. That would just be wrong - so if you want the game - BUY IT!

Actually, I did contact interaktive marketing, and this is what they said:
--
The game was published in the mid-1990's. Very few copies were ever manufactured. I doubt that you would be able to find one.

It's maybe possible to find it --somewhere--, but I don't think that anyone would be damaged if it would be dowloaded..

My intention is not to brake the law or do anything that would give this great site a bad reputation..

I've got a really strange problem... from the CD I burned the files on, the game seems to work perfectly well, but when I try to start it after copying it to the HD, I just get a crash because of a "stack overflow" in win95 and running it from dos mode, it shows me the "intro" stuff and then dies displaying an hourglass in the upper left corner of the screen and I have to restart the system by pushing the power button... does anybody know how I can make it run?

Why does the 'Oldwarez list' say this game is ESA protected (and so is part 1)?

Because it is.

Software Toolworks is an ESA member, but as with a couple of other games ESA is looking through their fingers that we have that game.

***, L.O.L. LOL

I find it amusing how almost every unregistered user says that.

Disabling music & Fx solves the problem..but it's a little bit harder without sounds to prevent death during surgery :whistle: ...

Okay. Question and answering time! Yay. bye1.gif

Let's start.

Freezing at startup --> If you have it set to "RealSound" when you install it, it'll freeze in lots of places, but as far as the starting up one, just give it some time and it will eventually "unfreeze".

Sound problems --> Don't know about the sound problems in this version on Abandonia (Because I got my copy from someplace else), but you can disable sound by clicking on the Desk where the Receptionist is and clicking the Clipboard, then disable Music and/or sound.

DOSBox quitting on startup --> Although my Windows 2000 box runs LND2 fine in Windows it won't run it in DOSBox because for some reason it believes CONFIG.DAT is corrupted. The only fix I've found for this is to reinstall the game EACH time...which sucks. Better way to do it: Get the instalation files and install it fresh, then you can run it in Windows.

Screen garbling issues --> I apologize, I didn't catch if you were using DOSBox or Windows?

Random quitting errors such as "Incorrect instruction passed to parser, etc." --> Disable Sound or reinstall LND (From the copy on the site above) making sure "RealSound" and/or "PC Speaker" is not selected.

Any others I missed?

Sorry to double post but I don't think I can edit my "Guest" posts..I'll download the Abandonia version now and see if I can root through any more of your problems and see if they're any different.
