Hmm, isn't this game ESA protected as well? If I recall correctly it was Origin who did this one as well, right?

Our approach to ESA protection takes in account the publisher and publication date. Developer is another thing altogether.

I just got this game on CD...It looks nice, but i'm unsure of how to install it. The documents on cd tell me that i have to create a "shortcut to DOS" to do so, and inside the cd there's a program which do thisifmaker. I ran pifmaker, but a error message about a problem in my pc register caused by this program. So I tried to acess the install.exe file inside the cd by the MS-DOS (the install.exe can only run in DOS mode). I've gone to the DOS by the bootdisk i've created from a program from this site, but i can't acess the cd-rom from here. I type D:
and a error message is displayed. I've tried all other letters but none of them work. Somebody can help me with this installation?

i have an Win 98, 166 mhz, 64 ram :eek:...

First: What does the error message say, exactly?

Sounds like the CD-ROM driver (MSCDEX or one of its alternatives) is not present.

When you say you always play games from the CD-rom drive without problems, are these games played in Win98 or in DOS?
