I've been playing with some settings in the config file. I set the core to normal which slowed it down greatly, so I put it back to auto. I've got about the right cycle setting to get it running smoothly, but I'm still having freezing trouble. I checked some other settings which were mentioned in …

Are you sure you just haven't forgotten to increase the cycle count and the game is locked up because you need to give it more CPU cycles? That would also explain sound problems. Maybe. I have no idea what the cycle count is or how to change it though. Plus, the freezing problem occurred before I …

I don't know what patch you think you are running, but the only patch that exists for Theme Hospital ( Theme Hospital Fix #1 , also known as Theme Hospital 1.1 or Theme Hospital beta5) is a DOS application.

I got most of the way through your guide, but unfortunately hit a wall at the point of installation. When I go to install, it says it could not write the files correctly and to try again, even though it gets to the end of the installation. I would try installing on another drive but I can't type …

None of the solutions in the readme worked for me. I added all my commands to the config file including the directory I want to use to install but it won't show up in the directory field when the installation starts. I have no idea what to do with the keyboard layouts as far as changing them. I …

Hey all. Just joined here. I downloaded DOS BOX as a way to possibly get Theme Hospital working properly. For a while I was able to get it to work on XP SP2 just by installing and without having to use compatibility mode, but I had to start using compatibility mode due to some freezing issues, and …
