hi there, i haven't posted here much, but i've just dusted off my old cd copy of the lucasarts heaven and hell sim "afterlife", and i'm having trouble getting it to work in windows xp.
here's my information:
Motherboard - MSI 975X Platinum
Processor - Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4 GHz
RAM - 4 GB DDR2
Graphics - ATI x1950Pro 256 MB
Sound Card - Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
OS - Windows XP Home
Game - Afterlife (cd version, shipped with LucasArts Archives III)
When i insert the game, the autoplay screen comes up and looks perfectly correct, but when i click on "install afterlife onto your hard drive", the setup file simply locks up.
if i try to run it directly from the disc, it works, but the sound works for only a moment before shutting off completely.
i've even tried running it through vdmsound and dosbox 0.70, and neither work. dosbox gives a dos4gw error, and the video seems to be negative when it's run in vdmsound.
anybody have any suggestions? i'd be very appreciative.
thanks.
