Nice, you got the irq right on the first try! if the daggerfall folder is mounted as c: then to access the data it will have to go c:\arena2, its running the game from the hard drive Doesn't make any sense, especially as you didn't post the mountings that were present when installing the game.

Re-install the game, obviously you either forgot to copy some files, or you mounted the drives different.

Filenames are already cached, and up to now nobody has told what dos call really is the issue (like get file attributes calls for each file, or even open calls).

If you have caching, you need to react on external events to keep the cached data up to date, which will be MUCH slower (especially over a slow network) than grabbing the actual data as-needed and relying on the caching system of the underlying layers (OS file/drive cache, network caching if it …

Create the other key (the one with the Wow6432 thing) and copy the whole data of the other subtree there.

"Brand new vista laptop" usually means "far outdated graphics drivers".

Wow6432Node is the registry path that 32bit usermode applications are redirected to (why this doesn't work for the codec installation i don't know).

He could have changed the image capture path before, no? Yes and we have a separate directory for those and forcefully switching between those for fun.

He said he can capture images, so write permissions should be fine.

There are several things to reduce memory footprint on low-memory devices in the cvs, so not sure why the 0.72 release was chosen as starting point.

How does one normally look for files on a computer system? The "normal" was exactly the problem MiniMax was pointing out, as the game sees files relative to the mounting (that's what the whole stuff is all about).

Games that deploy prefetch-queue tricks won't work on pentiums, don't remember game titles, but Savage was one of them (pretty old one).

I'm talking about that IsoBuster only, as that one seems to be the app that generates those mode2 sheets.

Right, that's pretty much the only solution. We're using SDL thus only indirectly the directinput interface, and those special keyboard drivers screw up the scancodes for unknown reason.

As i said use the CORRECT mounting. The game installs by default into the zomb subdirectory, so to start the game you HAVE to change the directory. You posted you don't have to, so you either installed it into a different directory (wrong) or you didn't installed it inside dosbox (wrong). I surely …
