Are you trying to install it WITH DOSBOX? If so, you need to mount the general c drive and the cd-rom drive, then install. Then see if it works.

Running The 7th Guest & The 11th Hour in non-Real DOS is really hit-or-miss. You could have too much diskspace or something... without system specs your request is USELESS!

If you have Windows with DirectX, you can probably use the native Windows version of the game. You can get the Windows patch here: http://dlh.net/getfile.php?40:/pc-patches/gen … ches/t7gwin.zip

Note that this thing never left beta, and tends to crash randomly, so you need to save often.

You might also try VDMSound.

Dear people,

I'm trying to keep up with your responses, ..... but i can't !!

I'm not an expert with computers (but not a layman either) but i'm stuck with the installation: I have a SB 5.1 Live installed, but the game just keeps telling me i have selected the wrong settings and won't complete the installation. How can i use dosbox to fool the game i do have the correct requirements??

If someone has an answer to this question i would seriously be MOST obliged !!!! My sb-card has according to my computer the following settings: Location 4 (PCI bus 0, device 14, function 0).

What can i do ???

With regards,

Sandor Singer

I happen to have the official Windows Version and the DOS Version of the 7th Guest.
I perfered the DOS Version though.
7th Guest (DOS Version) is runnable through DOSBox a'la this forum.

Hazakel & Prieslyboy: How can i run it ????

I'm no connaiseur when it comes to computers; All i want to do is install the fr**ging game and play it.... but i can't bleeeeehh;

The problem is...i haven't very much of a clue as to how to succesfully use dosbox

Any tips or sugestions would be very helpfull...

See DOSBOX Guides forum. There is a newbie guide with images.

Assuming E: is your CD-Rom try the following:

mount c c:\
mount e e:\ -t cdrom

after this is done, switch to e:

e:\

then run the install program. DOSBOX has its own configuration for the Soundblaster so it may not match your own. I don't remember its exact settings, but I think they are 220 7 1 or maybe 220 5 1

If this is successful, then do not exit DOSBOX. Try to execute the program through DOSBOX and see how that works.

I am running dosbox under linux and have succesfully installed 7th guest. I am having a problem getting the game to recognize the CD. I am mounting my drive as follows:

mount d /mnt/cdrom -t cdrom -usecd 0

I have also tried copying the CD to a directory and mounting the directory as the CDrom but have had no success. 7G just keeps asking me to insert disk1. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeremy
