Did you get the complete stop error? In my experience the IRQL Not less or equal error is likely a driver issue. If you still have the dump file, you can use the BlueScreenView to get more information about it.

Most DOS games work well in DOSBox. If you want a frontend with a small footprint on the system, try DOSBox Game Launcher. D-Fend Reloaded sinks its roots too deeply into the system for my taste. DBGL writes no system files nor makes any registry entries.

Do you have something like Putzlowitsch's Vista MIDI Mapper installed? Vista/Win7 does not easily let you choose your MIDI device. If you are using it with DOSBox, you can also select the MIDI device DOSBox will use in the dosbox.conf. At the prompt in DOSBox type mixer /listmidi to get a list of …

DOSBox will not harm your PC. Some frontends can create Windows shortcuts for you. Fate of Atlantis can also be played with ScummVM . For Mixed-up Mother Goose you can use this installer: http://sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/NewSierraInstallers.html#MMGAGI For HoMM2 you will need to manually set it …

None of this helps him with playing KQ7 on his Mac. ScummVM does not support KQ7 yet. He has it working in Widows with VMware Fusion. All he needs is to copy the working folder to his Mac hard drive and edit the mounting in the included dosbox.conf and setup an alias to use that alias. I do not know …

Again, the Steam collection is the same as the VU release from 2006. The fact that my patch works on the Steam version demonstrates it. He already has it working in Windows, so that is not the problem. He wants to play the games on his Mac: The installer that this person made allows me to play all …

The patch was made for the VU 2006 collection, which is essentially what the Steam collection is. No need to buy it twice. He also has the much superior KQ Collection Series, which has the 2.00b version of KQ7 with DOS interpreter. He just needs help with remapping the mounting in the autoexec …

DOSBox is legal. It does not make use of ROMs and it does not include any games. You must supply your own games. There are a number of freeware games and demos that you can get to play in it. You can also look for second hand sources to buy the old DOS games.

You can also just read the README to learn how to do it without a frontend. It really is pretty easy.

The old inf install just copied the ROMs to the System32 folder along with the DLL. In other words, it only looks in the same folder as where the DLL is registered. As I said, the installer was written before sergm started to utilize an INI. An INI in the Windows directory is an antiquated way of …
