Hi all. I don't know if it's a problem with the game, or VDMS.

System info:
Motherboard :Intel D865GLC
Pentium 4 3.2
512 MB DDR-SDRAM
Video: ATI Radeon 9600 (RV 350)
Sound: Creative Technologies Audigy 2
Windows XP Media Center Vers. 2002
Service Pack 2

Dark Forces, vers.1

Now that that's out of the way, heres the problem: I try to run the Install.Exe using Run with VDMS, and get through the VDMS config wizards
first two screens (Default or Custom configuration, and then Completing the Config Wizard). As soon as I hit 'Finish", I get a message that says:

VDMS Sound Configuration Wizard:
Could not commit to disk all the changes made to D:\INSTALL.vlp:
Access is denied. (0x80070005)

If I say, Ignore, I can get all the way through the installation, and the sound works during the tests, but at the very end when I go to exit,
I get an "Inactive VDMS Launchpad-Install" screen that I can do nothing with.

BTW, it may help to know that when I downloaded VDMS, I never got a screen telling me to reboot my computer, though I did it anyway.
Would this be part of the problem?

Thanks for being so patient with me, an utter novice. I just want to blast some stormtroopers and hear it when I do so! : 😉

Was there a problem with search function on the site when you posted that question?

Thanks for that information, but I'm still having problems.
After making a bat file on my C drive, I still come up with the
"Inactive VDMS Launchpad" window. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks in advance.
