Check your RESOURCE.CFG in your installed directory. Make sure that it points to your CD and that you have the CD drive mounted as the same drive letter as in the RESOURCE.CFG file.
Re: Goblin's Quest 3 CD (talkie) problems.

The problem with the Coktel Vision CD games is that they do not like the NT version of MSCDEX.EXE -- "MSCDEXNT.EXE". Use SAPUCDEX. Go to the DOS Environment tab of your VDMS shortcut properties and add SAPUCDEX to the AUTOEXEC.BAT section. Also, uncheck the "Enable low-level CD-ROM support (MSCDEX …

I believe that the DOS demo of "Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist" had different puzzles than the actual game had.

The game runs fine with VDMSound. For the speed bugs, just use the new patch: http://geocities.com/belzorash/

All three goblins (CD versions) used CD Audio, much like the Loom CD did. You can hear the audio track if you stick it in an audio CD player.

I got Goblins Quest 3 running fine with VDMSound. The Coktel Vision games just seem to not like the NT version of MSCDEX, MACDEXNT. If you use SAPUCDEX with VDMSound, it should work. In fact with SAPUCDEX, most of the Coktel Vision games seem to work even better than with Windows 9x or DOS 7.

Right click on the Windows shortcut and choose Properties. Copy what is in the Target box and paste it Notepad. Save it with a ".bat" extension, such as "KQ5.bat"
Re: Kings Quest 5/6 and dosbox

The Windows version of KQ5 will run fine on XP. You just have to set your resolution down, before you launch the game. Compatibility Mode does not change it soon enough so the game quits before it even starts. A convenient way to do this is to make a batch file to replace the Windows shortcut and …

Use VDMSound just for the DOS version. "SETUP.EXE" to install the Windows version and "INSTALL.EXE" for the DOS. If you install the Windows game and want to make the batch file I mentioned, just right click on the Windows shortcut and choose "Properties" and copy what is in the Target box and paste …

Do you have VDMSound installed? Some have have had trouble getting the voice track working with the DOS KQ5. The Windows version works fine on XP. Just run SETUP.EXE that's in the KQ5 folder on your CD to install it. You will need to set your resolution to 640x480 256 colors before you run the game, …

Also, if you want to run the Windows version, you must have version two of the game. If you look in the base directory of the CD, you will find a file named "VERSION". Open this in Notepad to see what version you have. If it is earlier than two, you will have to install the DOS version. ("INSTALL. …

Let me ask the obvious, you did unzip GOSiERRA into the Jones directory on your hard drive before you ran it, didn't you? If you did, try copying the AUDBLAST.DRV from the CD to your game's folder, over-writing the one there and run GOSiERRA again.
