😖
Hi guys. I`m new in here but i think it`s a great forum you`ve got here!!! Very nice to have and very helpfull!!
Ok here goes my case.
I try to run Daggerfall in XP through VDMSound-2.0.4.
The thing everytime gives me this message:
Unable to locate the daggerfall CD bluh bluh...
I try to do what it says in the first tip that hits you while you start VDMSound that is:
DID YOU KNOW
If a program complains about not finding the CD-ROM drive, you should enable low-level CD-ROM support by editing AUTOEXEC.VDMS (found in the VDMSound directory). Just uncomment the relevant section.
that i believe it matches my case but i don`t really know what it means...
Can anyone help me out there????
With a little help from my friends... THnx a lot guys!

Here are the lines from AUTOEXEC VDMS file:

@echo off

REM Free up some environment space
set classpath=
set include=
set lib=
set msdevdir=

REM Install CD ROM extensions - to enable, uncomment the line immediately below:
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx.exe

The REM statement causes the line to not be run. If you remove the REM statement then the line will run.

so:

The following line will NOT load the MSCDEX executable
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

The following line WILL run the MSCDEX executable
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
