When i start up VDMSound DOS v.2.01
It loads and initialized fine but i get a bad command or file name message.
I am fairly sure i set it up correctly, but obviously that isn't the case.

C Drive is harddive and D Drive is the CD-ROM

The game is in C:\DOTT.CD
I set it up so i could save games so the CMD line is ("C:\Program Files\VDMSound\VDMSRun.bat" c:\dott.cd\dott.exe) and the Working line is (c:\dott.cd)

I dont' think it is a hardware problem but i will list it anyway, if only to not get yelled at by that guy that yells at everyone for not listing it

Processor: 3.0 ghz 800mhz bus/ w hyperthreading
RAM: 512 DDR 400mhz
Motherboard: Intel 875i w/ onbaord raid
Video: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb
Sound: Soundblaster Audigy 2
Harddives: 2X 36 gig 8mb buffer raided together

and i think that covers everything
Thanks in Advance

First of all don't tripple post.

Secondly you could try http://scummvm.sf.net It has many advantages (like scalers which makes that old game look nicer.

Their web site says they don't support Windows XP. Well it actually said every other windows OS besides XP so i think it is safe to assume that it isn't tested. Will it still work on XP?

And in regards to the tripple post, I didn't know where to put it so i listed it in all the places it might apply. Sorry for the inconvince.

it will probably work. They have lot's of ways of displaying their graphics.
I know of at least one that is compatible with XP
