Well I'm stumped then. If your sure you have a good installation then I don't know what the problem could be. Did you run install from DOSBox or Windows?

Try an older version of DOSBox.

If the same problems appear, it's possible your CD is damaged, or your optical drive is at the end of its lifespan.

Try and create an ISO image of the disc, using the lowest read-speed your drive offers. Then use IMGMOUNT command to mount that ISO as a drive in DOSBox and re-install the game from it.

well i think i figured out the ISO image thing and it says it cant copy the shapes file because of cyclic redundancy or something would it be possible for someone to e-mail the shapes file to me and would that work?

Might do, might do not. It seems that I was right and the CD is broken - more files may have been damaged than just that one.

Unhappy Help Me

Whenever I try to install the game using the method indicated in the installation guide, I get this message

Fatal error 286.3330: General protection fault detected.
PID=0001 TID=0001 SID=0001 ERRORCODE=0000
AX=0048 BX=0048 CX=0048 DX=059F SI=0200 DI=0001 BP=1FA2
CS:IP=04BF:022E DS=04DF ES=059F SS:SP=04E7:1FA2 FLAGS=3206

Please help me and tell me what this indicates.I have managed to install this game previously with the help of a computer expert. However he now says that the game is too old to be run in my current system. It is Microsoft XP Service Pack 2. I also bought this game a long time ago when it was first brought out.
Does this mean it is too old and I will have to buy a new CD of this game so that it will be compatible to today's new systems?

Not exactly. You can get it to work by using DOSBox to emulate a DOS enviroment.
We've got a DOSBox tutorial stickied in the Troubleshooting forum, and that would be the best place for you to start.

Sry, maybe I just didn´t get it, but where do I start the download? There´re is no download-button at the position where it is with the other games, i.e. Crusader:NoRegret...maybe it´s a stupid question, but I am really helpless!

btw, nice page, just loving it more and more every day, thx 4 it!

There is no download button because you can't download it.
The game is -(still)- protected.
So: no download for this one.

Can change in the future.
Please don't ask when .....none knows.
