I used to be able to hear the cd audio using a Audigy 2 ZS by unmuting the analog cd audio volume control within the winxp mixer. I upgraded my sound card to Auzentech's Prelude and now I can't seem to hear CD audio anymore. It does not matter whether I mount the cd image using a virtual drive …

You do not want to know how long I fussed over this problem. I wished I had posted earlier. Thanks for the help!

The winxp patch for Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers from http://www.gabrielknight2k.tk/ works perfectly except for one minor problem: The cursors are in black and white. I fiddled around with text services and visual themes under the compatibility tab but I can't make it go away. Reducing …

dvwjr seems to have a real secret here! Ok, following dvwjr's lead, I ran MSD to get the memory page frame report for my computer, and it seems that the whole chunk of E000-F000 is marked "possibly available". I've attached the memory report "MEMREP.TXT" below. Just to make sure, I changed the EMS …

DOSFreak: Not DOSBox, dos box, the one that automatically pops up when you double-click on a dos program. MiniMax: Unfortunately that site is about the bios problem, which my computer shouldn't have since ems worked fine for years. I tried disabling some options and ended up buying a PS/2 keyboard …

NTVDM used to work perfectly on my computer, then one day expanded memory just stopped loading in the dos box. It roughly coinsided with the time after I deleted files leftover from an uninstallation of Norton Systemworks. I've tried everything, from disabling integrated systems on my bios to …

Thanks to Hendros for his wonderful patch. The game works well on dosbox but his patch runs even better. There is one problem, though it might not be the fault of the patch, that remains is that the cursors in the game are like an ugly, negative, black and white color. I think this has got to do …

I guess there is some confusion here. I thought that there was only one CVS build with mt-32 emulation, but it seems that there are others claiming to have emulation too. The build that I am actually refering to in my previous posts is CanadaCow's build, which is rather old by CVS standards. The …

Thanks rcblanke, it worked! It sounds right now, although somehow the sound is still inferior to the CVS with the built-in emulator (more robust and accurate). The CVS comes with additional files like preset1.syx, drumpat.rom, patchlog.cfg. Do you think these files responsible for the difference?

I've read around here that MUNT would work with dosbox. I followed the instructions to install the driver and had set my windows MIDI device to "MT-32 Synth" and dosbox config midi to "mt32", but for some reason dosbox does not seem to use this and it makes no difference what the windows midi device …

Thanks for all the helps and replies, Actually I am unable to access my bios at this time after disabling USB support. For some reason my USB2.0 card does not initialize until windows starts so that my keyboard in inoperational during the boot sequence. Bummer. I'm thinking or either resetting my …

My computer seems to have the rather common problem with EMS allocation with a unusual twist: It did not ever have this problem before. I have been able to run games requiring EMS with no problems, but a couple of months ago, I realized that VDMsound could not initialize ems. I ignored it since the …

Thnks for all the informative replies! I was able to get GKCD working in dosbox. I am still having problems getting the hires version to work. Dosbox just boots out without even displaying the sierra screen. VDMS gives a "Fatal: Error loading resource" message. Does anyone know what I'm not doing …
