Just run the DOS versions. KQ6 is just about the only one that the Windows version is superior to the DOS one. You will avoid a number of bugs that plague only the Windows versions, from the save bug in GK1 to all the waveOut errors in QfG4.

If you just HAVE to run the Windows versions, a FEW of the games can be set to run without the titlebar by adding titleBar=FALSE to the config file.

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl.

And the main reason I'm asking is for KQ5 which I can't for the life of me get to work with sound and speech in dos mode, I've tried the updated audblast.drv and gosierra patches and vdmsound and dosbox and i'm out of ideas. I always saw other people talking about selecting soundblaster for both sound and music, but in my version which came with a 10 CD value pack, I can only choose between roland adlib, and a couple others that aren't worth mentioning for music, and basically CMS Soundblaster for speech. The best I can get is the sound effects to work, but no speech or music.

But at least I can run it in windows mode, so it's no big deal.

Thanks again

UPDATE: I just tried that titlebar idea with kq5 and it didn't seem to work. oh well, i guess i'll just have to get used to it being there.

Thanks anyway

If you have a reasonably fast computer and an old copy of windows 3.1 (or 3.11) lying around somewhere, you could also try it on a cvs-version of dosbox (look in the Forum "dosbox guides" on infos, how to run windows 3.x and install sound and graphics drivers). At least my Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth Talkie CD runs on my computer (notebook with celeron 1,5 ghz) with full glory, without that annoying titlebar 😀.
