Warcraft I
Hope that's enough info. Let me know if it isn't. Anyway, here's the prob.
All of the files, including war.exe and setup.exe are on the HD in c:\program files\warcraft. I also applied the 1.21 patch with no problems. But when I run war.exe in DOSBox (latest version), the game says I must run setup.exe to avoid a copyright message. Then it asks me to input a code word from the manual (which I have, luckily). Once I put the word in, it starts Warcraft and everything's cool.
I'm just wondering if anyone found a way around this. I'd hate to have to keep referencing the manual every time I want to play. And I doubt I need a crack, because that's just how the game works..
Second problem is that there's no sound or music in Warcraft. Doesn't really bother me as I like to blast Winamp when I play anyway, but would like to know if there's a fix for it anyway. I have it set to all of the default options for audio and video.
I heard somewhere that if you have the CD version of Warcraft, that all of the music is on the CD. But I'm not sure if that's what I have, since it doesn't ask me for the CD and because the sound doesn't work either.
Can anyone tell me the proper config for Warcraft I? Thanks in advance for the help!
