Hello to all !!
Sorry for my English :-(

I've got two problems with my original AitD - CD.

First problem is, the game will not start with CD, because it cant recognize it.
I can browse and open every single file on the cd manually, but the game wount start. My cdplayer is ok, other cd's spinning really fast. But the AitD-CD spins slowly. I tried to play with an cd-image and it works, but the game/my harddisk is too slow for a good game.
Can anybody help and explain why this original-cd wount work the right way?
Maybe its a problem with windows but i dont think so. I installed the game with winstall.exe and dos-environment starts automatically.

Second problem: in 99% of all attempts the person will not run after a release and re-click of the up-arrow. Is there a possibility to change the keyboard settings, maybe in windows?

I thank you all for your answers.

Does your dos have drivers for this? I suggest getting a boot disk from this site and put cd drivers on that.

Like I said,the game is able to run with an image of te cd, without any errors.
But why is the cd unable to spin fast like any other?

Maybe because in 1992 a double-speed CD drive was considered fast.:D

I dont think so. THe Speed of CD-reading is defined by the Drive only. And I got many old CD's. Only this one wount work.

I've gone through the game and everything, and there's an item missing from how I remember it as a kid. There was this red book in the library that killed you even if you were on the pentagram. I can't seem to find it. Which stack is it in?

Hello, can anybody tell me what is written in the yellow Book?. I think it was called "de vermis miteris" and if you try to read it, you are punished with a horrible death. Does it ring?

Thanks for your help
