Great! Thanks for all the help. Im glad I stumbled onto DOSbox, give these old games some new life. Now to sit down with some coffee and donuts, and play some Police Quest 😎

😁 Thanks! It works! Everything but pq4 voices. Would I change the resource file to fix that, as well?

😦 Sorry, mods. Had some confusion with the forums.

Oh, this is where my topic went. Sorry mods, I should have read the guidelines. I pretty much picked up where I left off in my other topic.

OK, I copied it to my hardrive. In the resource.cfg file, it has "soundDrv = STD.DRV audioDrv = AUDNONE.DRV" What exactly would I change it too?

C:\sierra\pqcol Ive installed each of all 4 games from their individual folders from D:. I get a useless bat file for each under C:\sierra, and under C:\sierra\pqcol, I have resource.pq1(2,3,4) files, and pqsg files and that is all. No more folders, no install.exe. I get no individual folders for …

When I run the windows install, it creates the directory C:\sierra which has a batch file for the game I installed, and a subdirectory pqcol. The batch file does not work in or out of DOSbox, and the pqcol has various files, but no install.exe. I have PQcol: 4 most wanted, do you have the one that …

When installing any of the PQ collection games, whether from windows or through DOSbox, an error preempts my selection of soundcard. When installing through windows, it just blows by them and closes the install window. When through DOSbox, as soon as I select the directory, it says 'Out of …

I keep getting this thing about 'out of environment space', then it skips over the sound and other options 'illegal command:what'... By the way, thanks for all the help.

Ok, I got what you were saying this time, I nod only di it load, but it got me through the spot where it was freezing, good stuff. Is it supoosed to be midi sound for VGA, though? When you were referring to setting soundblaster, was that during installation or in DOSbox, because if its in DOSbox I …

Damn, its because I cant use the windows install because of my video card.

Alright, thanks.

I havent been able to actually install the game correctly on the C drive for some reason. I get the directory C:/Sierra and a batch file, but I cannot run the batch file.

In the game listings it puts the version of dosbox next to it. Is that the only version thats compatible, or am I covered with the newest one? I downloaded the .58 old version, because it was listed next to the game Im most interested in now...

Good, I got PQ vga up and running with sound on it.. How do I load saves, then? Im entering in the directory I have them at, but when I do it in dosbox, it says its invalid. I entered in -c mount C C:\saves after the file to open the game, but still cant load my previous saves. It freezes up after …

Wow, thatd be great. Hope its alright.

Cool, so I just got to get a hang of DOSBOX.

:dead: :dead: :dead: I bought a PQ collection years ago, and just dusted it off to play again. I was starting off with PQ1 VGA, and all was well initially, I couldnt succesfully install it, but I could play it off the CD with midi sound. Then I got to a point where this particular version freezes …
