I know this might sound strange but... Did you try DOSBox?

Yeh... using dosbox is a rule of thumb with abandonware isn't it?
No it doesn't work, it opens up and starts trying to install the files to the CD itself. Ofcoarse this results in a whole lot of "warning: unable to install file to..." messages EDIT: and its just my luck that the Elderscrolls forums are down at the moment.

I have found that it IS POSSIBLE to run it XP native!
download this 3rd party installer here and run it (with the cd in the drivee). It will install the game and the 1.23 patch. You can then run it straight on XP. Don't use the option to run without the cd though, it doesnt quite work. |

Did anyone beat this game? I loved this!!! I hated it and still do when I saw there was no horse or dragon or anything you can ride on in Morrowind. I also hate that you can't increase your view so it's not such a small amount of land revealed around you as you travel. And has anyone gotten a good enchantment detection thing to find stuff as you travel? How effective is that?

Is this normal?
Tried the third party installer and left the option to play without the cd unchecked. The installation finished and said it found 1562 files, but expected 1593. |

Ehhh, disregard. I had those numbers backwards. I had more files than expected which makes sense.

Yeah, I kinda have it working. After the 3rd party installer, I used VDMSound to run these three programs: the setup (for sound), the patch, and then the daggerfall executable to run the game. But I don't think this is the wise way to go from reading the threads on this message board:
http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?act=idx Sounds like this might cause problems down the road with invisible monsters. Looks like Dosbox is probably the best option, but I haven't tried it yet. |
