I haven't had any trouble running any other early Sierra On-line game but when I try to run SQ3 I get two messages before it exits out.

The first says: unable to locate (a series of symbols)

and the second says: out of heap space

I've tried increasing the amount of memory for the virtual machine but that doesn't seem to do anything?

I've also searched through the forums (I spent 30 or 40 minutes) but hadn't found anything... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Is this the new collection?

No, the new collection has all the DOSbox done for you.. but it doesn't allow for screencapturing. This is the old collection that came out for Windows 3.x and 95

Space Quest Collection Series (1996) – All six games, plus a preview of episode VII.

not the 1994 collector's edition (that didn't include VI)

The new installer that I have is for the Collector's Edition, but it should work for the games up to 5 for the collection Series, too.

I regards to the fist error message I got it wrong it says couldn't find a *then a series of symbols*

don't know if that makes any difference...

You think I'm not installing it correctly? Could it be that I have the settings for DOSBox wrong? I haven't dived too much into customizing...

Let me check the install and get back to you.

Thank you so much for the help
