Hi guys. I`m new in here but i think it`s a great forum you`ve got here!!! Very nice to have and very helpfull!!
Ok here goes my case.
I try to run Daggerfall in XP through VDMSound-2.0.4.
The thing everytime gives me this message:
Unable to locate the daggerfall CD bluh bluh...
I try to do what it says in the first tip that hits you while you start VDMSound that is:
DID YOU KNOW
If a program complains about not finding the CD-ROM drive, you should enable low-level CD-ROM support by editing AUTOEXEC.VDMS (found in the VDMSound directory). Just uncomment the relevant section.
that i believe it matches my case but i don`t really know what it means...
Can anyone help me out there????
With a little help from my friends... THnx a lot guys!

Here are the lines from AUTOEXEC VDMS file:

@echo off

REM Free up some environment space
set classpath=
set include=
set lib=
set msdevdir=

REM Install CD ROM extensions - to enable, uncomment the line immediately below:
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx.exe

Forget about it.

Use DOSBox.

If your computer is too slow to run DaggerFall in DOSBox then get an old PC and play it there.

The REM statement causes the line to not be run. If you remove the REM statement then the line will run.

so:

The following line will NOT load the MSCDEX executable
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

The following line WILL run the MSCDEX executable
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
