Hi...I was wondering if I could get some help. I'm on Windows 2K Professional, on this crappy Compaq MV540 where Windows 2K is not quite supported. My sound disappears sometimes when browsing the internet, and I just wanted to prenotify you that this computer has sound problems. I'm trying to run Secret of Monkey Island. It came on a CD with Monkey Island II:LeChuck's Revenge and a demo of Curse of Monkey Island. My problem is: I can get the program working, with no sound, or I can't get the program working period because of the low-level CD report problem even though I've already edited the .ini file for VDMS, and rebooted/logged out etc. I have already installed the update 1 and launchpad. I made a .bat file to configure it to Roland, but it doesn't help. For MIDI music in Sounds/Multimedia Properties, it's set to Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth. The digital audio output device is SoundMAX Digital Audio. I have also installed a copy of the VDMS.ini file in the MONKEY directory, I can't remember where I read to do that, I think it was on the support forum. Secret of Monkey Island is supposedly compatible, at least on the floppy disk. I don't quite understand the "Invoke using 'MONKEY R' for MIDI." statement on the compatability page though. I've also already downloaded the two updates for it at the LucasArts site and installed them. I was also wondering if there are any differences between the floppy and CD? I've tried running MONKEY.exe normally, right clicking and opening with VDMS, right clicking and opening with VDMS with DOS music and Joystick support, and also opening with LEC Quick and Easy, I'm not sure how many people use this program, but the website is here http://quick.mixnmojo.com/ , I orginally started to try for game support on my new computer here http://www.scummbar.com/resources/articles/read.php?id=22. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
