Second, after rescuing the baron's son, I can't get into the castle. The two guards out front play their trumpets, and then the castle door opens, and then the hero walks toward the door. Then, he just freezes there. The music continues to play, and it doesn't error or loop; it plays the way it's supposed to when you get inside the castle. But, the hero doesn't go inside. He just stands in the open door way.

I ran into this problem too. Luckily I'd saved shortly beforehand so I was able to go back and just keep walking through the door until it finally worked. If that doesn't work for you I'm not sure what will.

I'm also looking for the original version, if people are still giving it away..

The whole series is way better than Kings Quest

Ok go ahead and laugh at me but my throwing skill is at 200 and I still cant beat that little game. My dagger goes flying to the side when i throw it.

hey i just wanna add my 2 cents in here
Now the series I have been in love with for years, personally QFG2 I would say was the most in depth but QFG1 had the originality and 4 was real buggy but i finished it after going through hell. My fav bug was in the swamp where you gotta fight those tentacle monk things and it kept crashing but all i had to do to make it work was turn the sound on Internal Speaker(the beeps). Bloody good game and Number 5 was a dissapointment to an extent, the interface was what got to me but I still think it had very innovative puzzles and it still holds replay value as you can miss some puzzles and still finish the game. My fav bit was the Dragon battle that totally kicked behind. I really wish there would be a new one coming.

My only other thought right now is it's probably a timing issue. The VGA sierra games did suffer from it (QFG4 did in a huge way).

Try running under dosbox with a lower cpu speed if you already are, or try running it on a genuine old computer, maybe something like a pentium 100.

Did you run Setup first and configure it properly?

yes, and what do you mean by setup?
