I have problem running Killing Time! I have loved that game ever since i bought it back in 1996. When i run it the intro shows up just fine and the music playes! You get eager to shoot some zombies and undeads butts. But when it is going to load to the game main menu so you can start a new game and so on, Dosbox shuts down the game. This is highly anoying. Ok I use D-Fend because dosbox dont want to put the right carakter when I type it in from my kaeybord! For example if I want to put slash and puch the slash button on my kayboard it comes a comma instead of slash. This is incredible irritating. Because of that I can´t use dos box and I am not so braindead even if I am 32 years of age that i could not learn dos coding. I am a fast learner 😜 My keybord is in swedish language. Once when my dad had been fooling around with my laptop he had somehow maniged to give me english keyboard. Because of that the caracters did not show up as they should. Just as dosbox is doing to me now. So how can i get everything to work?😠

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but this may be helpful for somebody in the future. I have got this running on a 64bit Windows 7 system. This only works for Nvidia cards! I do not know if this is possible with ATI cards sorry and PLEASE make sure your monitor supports the added resolution BEFORE trying this 😉

1..Copy all contents of cd to a separate folder on your hard drive
2..Download the ls3engline setup.exe from http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=90351 and place into the folder you have just copied your cd contents to
3..Run the new setup32.exe and let it install just ok the error that appears
4..Once installed there is no need to edit the registry for the cd as it just creates an empty directory.
5..Now Install the ACT 5.6 from Microsoft and run the 32bit version. There you will see an application box on the left plane. Click the + and wait for the list to open. Scroll down and find the Killing Time entry, right click and select copy and paste into the bottom entry (right click New Database and select paste)
6..Click Save at the top and select a name and save it in your Killing Time Installation directory
7..Right Click in ACT your Killing Time Entry and select install
8..Now here's the trick, if you just try to run it now you will get it to run but it will crash just before the video. Open up your nvidia control panel and select change resolution under display on the left panel. Select Create Custom Resolution and in the horizontal box enter 320 and in the vertical box enter 240. In the color depth enter 8 (256 colors). Click test then yes to add the new resolution.
9..Create a batch file and put this in your Killing Time Install Dir with these contents

taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
KillTime.exe
Start explorer.exe

10..Start the game!

Runs like a dream for me, I hope this helps others in the future
