Ultima Underworld 1 & 2 just work great under WinXP provided you patched them. Run INSTALL.EXE to configure sound cards and then UWSOUND.EXE to change sound cards parameters, like IRQ, DMA channel, etc ... Save your changes.

Originally posted by gamer9999 thank you very much for the reply el pusher but what patches are you talking about?and where can i get them?

If the games aren't the re-released CD versions, they may need these.

The patches el_Pusher was referring to are here (under "Underworld to WinNT").

While you're at it. Take a look around the site in general. You should be pleased at what you see.

thank you for the reply Nicht Sehr Gut this is the cd re-release and i figured it out with all the fine help here and from the exult board,now my 2 favorite places.
all i had to do was change the speech from soundblaster pro to regular soundblaster in the uinstall now i have music and speech.
now all i have to figure out is why dosbox closes after a few minutes of playing(but up untill it shuts down it plays fine)
thanks again guys
