Hey folks,
I've been trying to run Space Quest, King's Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry games on my computer (SQ 1, 2, 3, 4, etc). When I double-click the executable in the folder that it's in, a DOS window launches, and I immediately get a black screen. With some games there will be music, and there is none with others. Also, on some games, I will get a seemingly random pixel pattern, though the same one is produced every time I try to run the game. The following is my setup. Any help in getting these games to work would be greatly appreciated.
* I don't know what my motherboard is. I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop
* Pentium 4 1.7 GHz processor
* 512 MB RAM
* nVidia GeForce4Go 64MB
* Creative Extigy external sound card
* Windows XP Professional
* Space Quest series, King's Quest series, Leisure Suit Larry
I've tried running in compatibility mode, but that doesn't help. I tried VDMSound, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything either.
