Full Version: QFG4 CD version with XP.
I'm having trouble with running QFG4 on XP? I've tried the Newrisingson patch but it did not work.
Have you tried running the game with the latest version of DosBox? If you need help with it try here. For more help check this thread.
I did everything mentioned on your article on this site but this error appears:
Have you installed VDMSound? Charles said
Secondly... um, is your game a legit copy? If it's not, perhaps there are some files missing.

First things first, you absolutely have to install VDMSound (http://vogons.zetafleet.com/ndldownload.php?filename=VDMSound2.1.0.exe) if you want to have any hope of listening to the audio these games have to offer. Once that’s done, you can get on to playing the games.

I've already got the sound program and a legit copy.
I think the problem is when I install the game heres an error I get:
Maybe I should stick with the Disk version if I ever get it.

Here’s what I do to get the game installed. This is from the Collection Series CD, but should work for Anthology edition as well.
First go to My Computer, and open up your CD-ROM drive (usually D).
Double-click in INST.EXE. That will bring up the Installation program. Chose where you want it installed, and with what settings. Chose the Full install. This copies everything but the Speech file.
After it is installed, copy over INST.EXE to the game’s folder (typically C:\QGANTH\QG4CD\), and rename it INSTALL.EXE. Also delete INSTALL.BAT from that folder. This step is neccessary if you ever want to change the audio settings.
There is one other optional step. If you have the space (600MB) and want to run the entire game from your harddrive, without inserting your disc ust to hear the voices, you can copy the speech file to your harddrive, too. Copy RESOURCE.AUD from D:\ (your cd-rom, at the base) to C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4CD (your QFG4 folder). Now open up RESOURCE.CFG in notepad.
There's a line that reads:
Now, copy over all of NewRisingSun’s patches into your C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4CD folder, and run SIERRA.EXE with VDMS.
That should be all you need to do.
(If you’re doing this from the stand-alone CD version, then you don’t need to do the step with copying over INST.EXE, in fact, there is no INST.EXE. In the stand-alone version it is correctly called INSTALL.EXE.)

Change it to read: CODE
resAUD=C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4CD
Now, copy over all of NewRisingSun’s patches into your C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4CD folder, and run SIERRA.EXE with VDMS.
