I've just spent the better part of a day setting up all 13 of the games in the Forgotten Realms Archives, and they all work, some in WinXP directly and some through DOSBox (although a few won't work with sound). The only one that I can't get to run at all is Menzoberranzan, even though it's listed as supported for DOSBox.
When I run it, either through WinXP or through DOSBox, after the DOS/4GW message, I get the error "Unable to open resource file" and then it quits. This is with all sound disabled. I reinstalled just to make sure there wasn't any corruption or anything. Any clues? I'm stuck and was really looking forward to playing this one.

Thanks.

Must be some missing or corrupted file. Maybe the Menzoberranzan files in your CD are corrupted. I finished Menzoberranzan some days ago and i had no problems under VDMSound nor DOSBox (0.60) - Haven't tried it under latest 0.61 but i can't see why it should not work.
