I fiddled around with VDMSound a bit, and eventually browsed the net to find a solution. I found this patch, and using that it worked. It even worked in pure xp, but without sound of course. It also turns out that the version here on Abandonia is the US floppy release (that was the only patch that worked).

Hi everybody, great site you got here. I downloaded the game and when i get to the part where the heavily bearded guy asks for the password i hit enter and the letter h comes up and then he doesnt accept it. Wondering if anybody knows what to do about that.

where exactly does this "password guard" appear?

Whenever you try to re-enter the castle, it asks for a page #, line #, word # for the passcode.

ähm... that will be my fault. simply forgot about that copy protection. i'll take care of it asap

in the meantime i have a link for anybody who needs some maps/advice for

for copy-protection you have to download the manual.
