Originally posted by Unregistered but when I try, VDSSound loads, but then, in the DOS prompt as the game begnis to start up, it suddenly says "A CD-Rom Device Driver is required to run Hand of Fate CD." I've tried completely taking the game off the CD, running it from various places, etc., but nothing seems to work.

Well, have you tried enabling low-level CD-ROM support on your (VLP) VDMSound shortcut?

Stats : The Hand of Fate CD actually seems to be a reproduction by a company called Sold Out Software. Should be identical to the original;

*cringe*
Should be...but with "sold out"....

I actually have the same exact problem. I get the same exact error message when I try and run it through DosBox .63, (Used to work fine after dealing with visbios, but no longer) and the new VDM sound. (Tried low-level the cd-rom support. All I got was a laggy game.) The strange thing is that it used to run fine on my old win95 computer when I tried playing it on there, but it now gives me the message.

Does anyone have any ideas I might be able to use to help me out?

I'm kind of surprised at how often people mistake this for a malfunction--it's not a glitch; after you do this:
>mount c C:\WESTWOOD
remember that you need to do THIS, too:
>mount d D:\ -t cdrom
THEN you can do
>C:
>cd hofcd
>hofcd
...Unless you're like me, in which case you'll get:
>Unable to load sound driver...
>Unable to load GOLDFONT.FNT
>Reinstall program.
Wth?

"Did you try reinstalling that there program, Verne?"
Yes, I tried that before posting.

I can't make head nor tails about the resurrection of such an old post.

I am locking it... Sorry.
