How do you run VDM and Dosbox simultanously?


When I run u8 in DosBox, it says


Filename =sound\sound.flx
Mode = ReadOnly
Error = 1930
Dos Error=0000
Source=FLEX\FLEX.C (84)
Program halted by code

Excuse me, but why on earth would you want to run VDMSound and Dosbox simulatously? One should be enough, I think. Try run it through VDMSound only and see if that works.

If you install U8 from your original floppies the game extract some sort of file and there is this message "don't abort process...blah... you have to reinstall". I wanna play my german version and after the gamefile ist extracted i run it in dosbox and it works... until i exit the game and restart, then comes "fault you have to reinstall"
Since on Abandonia is the english (working) version i wanna know how this problem was solved. I this a dosbox problem (Read/write prob of the hdd's during)? I have no real dos environment.

It was the U8SHAPES.CMP - it extracts to U8SHAPES.FLX.
In my case the rest of the .cmp file is not deleted (17kb) but the .flx has the same size like the english one. I deleted the .cmp manually and hope that no error occurs.

hi guys. im having trouble with the game. btw, it rules im stuck in the part when one is to become the necromencers apentrice, right after the ritual. the one performed after u give the serpentine dagger to its prior owner. after the three zombies are summoned by the grey guy and he speaks the magic words, there is an earhtquake, then it becomes stuck, the earthquanke doesnt stop. have u had also the same trouble? how do i fix it? thx

Do you play it in DosBox, under VDMSound or just in plain Windows XP? If in Windows XP, there you have your problem, DosBox solves it well.

Did you try to load a game before the dagger has been returned? Maybe it's just a bug.

thx guys for the replys. the bug solved itself. i pushd pretty much every key on my keyboard, when i hit the f5 or f6 key (quick-save, i think) the tremor ended and the grey guy put an end to everything ^^ finally, now i can become his apprentice and raise the dead to obey my commands!!! muahahahah :P thx anyways

the necromancer doesn't take the dagger. there is no dialogue option to give it to him and no other way.
how can i solve this problem. i MUST play it to the end^^.
plz help me
