Ah, Daggerfall. You didn't give much info. Did you install the patch? Are you using VDMSound?

Daggerfall has all sorts of problems. It doesn't crash much for me, but the walking is really slow and jumping and climbing are messed up unless I use a slowdown utility. Bethesda denied the problem and now it's wayyy too old to fix.

yes, i have the patch installed and im not using VDMsound because when i try to use it i always get these errors.

These errors being...? you're gonna need to give us a little more to go on.

nooo, i dont care about VDMsound, my question is how can i get it to run(daggerfall) on my win XP. It will crash everytime after a min into game. Happens on other dos games also.

Are you referring to the rather huge (43 Meg) dagnt5x.zip patch as mentioned
here?

DANG!! 11 hours for that patch!! I dnt think i have this patch.

You really are going to make it harder on yourself by not using VDMsound. At best, you'll get poor sound and music quality, and you may experience more lockups and crashes as a result of WinXP's poorer sound emulation.

Im using Soundfx, and from the few minuetes of playing, it sounds great. BTW, the XP patch didnt work. Do i need a Dos boot up disk? If so where can i find one?

Remember that SoundFX is more of a wrapper than an audio emulator. Since it's getting audio out and VDMSound isn't, I'm highly suspicous that you've got some software that's allowing direct hardware access (a no-no in XP).

Try this: Download Ms. Pac-Em from this thread:

Use either installer and run MSPACEM.EXE with and without VDMSound. Without should give you poor audio and (probably) no music when starting the game. With VDMSound should give you good quality sound effects and music.

Well that huge file never really was an official patch, so no surprise there...but you still might want to read the last 2 posts by HunterZ in this thread:

...need a Dos boot up disk? If so where can i find one?

If you used a DOS disk, you couldn't use VDMSound. You might be able to run it from a DOS or Win9x boot disk...of course you never gave us your system specs as requested in the Posting Guidelines, so that is pure guesswork.
