Thanks! Out of curiosity :blink: , what walkthrough are you using?

[retro]

I use the walkthrough from dirty little helper (DLH).

The manual for this game no longer works with XP Wordpad. I downloaded this a few days ago and Wordpad just produces gibberish.

It turns out that Microsoft turned off support for WRI. files with XP Service Pack 2. Seems it was a potential security problem. The situation and the fix are given here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883090


The fix involves a fairly simple registry edit (attempt only if you know what you're doing).

Great game by the way. I've never played an RPG so I really needed that manual!

There's a file called DRIVE.CFG in the game directory, which contain two drive letters. Try to change them both to point to the drive you have the game installed on....

Thanks there Guest_Castaway! I fiddled for an hour trying to figure out what the hey.. I should have guessed this. Duh. :blink:

It helped. The Game runs fine here with DOSBox 0.65 (also using D-Fend Front End)

The only small problem I have is the mouse moves so slow, it takes a lot of rolling to get it across the screen. It's annoying. Anyone know how to speed the mouse up?

Thanks for any help.

:bye:

this was the top RPG back in the day.. really cream of the crop. i remember i got pretty far with it.. gonna relive it now.

Any idea how you can resurrect the dead companions when you are in the very early part (chptr 1, just got the party to Krondor and two of them are as good as dead. Low on cash, since I didn't travel world wide to loot the lot. Some 200 gold, that's all). I know of one temple, but it demands half the GNP of Krondor.
Also, no matter how I rest or eat, the stamina will only reach about 2/3 of max. How do you get the stamina to max?

[Scatty]

The stamina gets up to the max value only if you rest at inns, not outside.

I remember from long ago re. stamina and agree with Scatty!
Wish I could play it again

If you like this, you have to play return to krondor, i have it on CD right here... awesome rpg.
