I have this "error creating configuration file" problem in many sierra on line games. I unzip the games (zip files) through my windows 95 and then i run them in dos but i have this problem. I want to change the sound cards settings for instance (to use the Roland MT32) but the changes cannot be saved.

Where are the files extracted from?
Just check the attributes of the resource.cfg file and make sure it's not read-only.

I've seen this if you just copy the CD-rom versions of the games onto a HDD directly since the contents on the CD-Rom are in read only mode to begin with.

Midi Modules: MT-32 (OLD), MT-200, MT-300, MT-90S, MT-90U, SD-20
