I have 'The Complete Ultima Collection' on CD. I've had numerous problems trying to get it to install/run. At first I kept getting a message about '8086 virtual mode' with no option to continue. Then I heard that certain games had methods to allow bypassing the installer. So I copied the CD contents to a setup folder, unzipped the U7/SI zip folders to individual folders, then ran install to config sound/music. Unfortunately, neither sound or music worked even after getting into the game. Then I mounted a virtual drive for the CD folder and ran the installer that way. This time the process worked - for installation, also setting up sound/music.
Now the intro has sound and music with the default settings, which is fine for my system. Now the new problem is when I start a new game, it exits with this message: '.\STATIC\linkd not found'.
Has anyone else encountered this?
