hmm... I restarted my computer and it doesn't crash anymore but now it's saying 'cd-rom drive or MSCDEX nor installed'

First, read the README...
but ok you have to mount your cdrom drive with the -cdrom flag.
That should be it

Curse of...doesn't that have a Windows executable?

Not the first one, or number 2 for that matter, but 3 and 4 do.

also, would it run with scummvm?

it runs very well with scummvm. never heard of a cdrom version (of CoMI) though...
if it makes problems, try the latest daily cvs build

Comi was distributed as floppies too? Sounds odd, the game was two cd-roms, after all.

Curse of Monkey Island is Monkey Island 3, people.

Snover is right. I remember it to be a windows executable on 2 CDs. If memory serves me well....

* MONKEY ISLAND (I)
* MONKEY ISLAND: LE CHUCK'S REVENGE (II)
* THE CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND (III)
* ESCAPE FROM MONKEY ISLAND (IV)

Correct me if i'm missing something. I think both I and II were DOS games while III and IV are windows ones. Not sure if III came for ms-dos too, though.

Monkey 3 (COMI) requires Win95 and DirectX 3 (amongst other things).

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the CD-version of first one (the one with digital audio tracks) or Monkey Island Madness (Monkey Island with audio-tracks and MI2 style UI, Monkey Island 2 and a demo of Monkey Island 3).

I was talking about The Secret Of Monkey Island, yes the first one.

"The Secret of Monkey Island" (MI 1) and "Monkey Island: Le Chuck's Revenge" (M2) work perfect in Windows XP using ScummVM (I've played them entirely, in the CD version)

For playing "The Course of Monkey Island" (MI 3) in Windows XP it is necessary to enable "Windows 95 compatibility" in the Properties Windows. (After right-clicking with the mouse in the icon of this game). (I think that to enable this compatibility is also necessary to install the game).

>I was talking about The Secret Of Monkey Island, yes the first one.

Well, MI #1 and #2 run well for me using DosBox since v. 0.58.
Sorry, RamboBones, but I don't understand what the problem would be.

Hmm.... I thought I mentioned that I got it working, as someone posted I wasn't using the -t cdrom parameter to mount my CD drive.

hmmm strang... comi dosnt run in dos.
works fine on my pc all the time.
try insterting cd1 and copy all files over to hard drive uner comi. then do the same in the same file with disk 2. now go into run d:\ or were ever your disk goes and type install .
should work. wat version of windows r u using?

I really hope you are aware that the last posting in this thread was from 2003.
