Hi there folks!
I've always been a fan to that game and some weeks ago I've felt like playing it.
Unfortunaly (sp?) it doesnt work on Windows XP so I dowloaded a program to make it work on xp and followed all the steps. (http://members.iinet.net.au/~rsd/U8inWindows.html)
It worked. But without sound/music
When I tryed to turn those on, the game woulnd't run. A black screen would appear and a high sound like a sqeerk would sound and nothing else happened then.
On that same web page there was a link to your program and it helped me. Now the game works. With music but not with the sound.
That same web page instructed me to ask for help here on your foruns if I had any problems and it also asked to post the VDM.log but there is no such file in my machine.
If it helps, this is the way I used VDM. I opened the prompt and made this:
C:\ULTIMA8\VDMSound>dosdrv
VDMSound DOS loader, version 2.01 (Aug 04 2001)

(u8w is the .exe that makes Ultima 8 work on windows)
Thanks
