Yes, but I didn't mention the floppy version because I didn't care about it. The problem was that I couldn't get sound with the CD version, not that I couldn't play the game.

You can't get sound, but I can, and yes, with the CD version.
No problems at all if you setup the game properly.
That's reassuring.

Sorry if I came off as a little angry in my last post. I was in a bad mood. I'll be more courteous in the future.

I see.

Thanks, now I feel really stupid.

I'm not playing it from an original CD; I just downloaded the files off of some site. I mounted the directory as my D: drive and added "-t cdrom" after the filename. It loaded perfectly; the only problem was the lack of sound.

There wasn't an installer.

Then instead of mounting your CD drive, mount that image using the IMGMOUNT command and it should work all fine and dandy.
OK, I'll try that when I can.
