Your problem description is insufficient for us to provide a proper answer.

Please answer the following questions:
1. What operating system do you have?
2. Did you try using VDMSound or DosBox to run the game?
3. What exact steps did you follow when trying to run the game?

Do you have a "Virus check" option enabled in your BIOS? See if the game works with that disabled.

Try hitting Delete during the memory check, that's the one used for most old machines.

I have read through everything on here dealing with sound, so I am sorry this question has repeated itself again! I have windows XP and dowloaded Dosbox. I went through the tutorial and did what it asked as far as changing to

mount C C:/DOS/CDrive
mount D D:/ -t cdrom
C:
CLS

Then everything was downloaded and saved under cdrive/flash. When I type install it said that it was and illegal command. Config says

use -writeconfig filename to write the current config
use -writelang gilename to write the current language strings.

Then the setup command is also illegal. So I went ahead and started the game. It works! But no sound. I went through the forum and seen that I should dowload SBPCI I copied everything into cdrive under flash and copied and pasted config and autoexec from SBCI to yhe cdrive folder under flash. I also went to microsoft with a link available under one of the forums and then I went back into wordpad and wrote config.nt and autoexec.nt for the game itself. I never deleted the others. Also why is it at the beginning in french. All my options to start the game and check out the sound are in french. After messing with those for a while I turned the music on (what it says when you press escape during game play) But it says the sound effects were off. Maybe if I messed with those a little longer it would work? All files were extracted after I added the others for sound and I restarted my computer. I have been at this for 4 hours, so please help!

I loved the atmosphere of the game, but it also frustrates me big time!

How the f..k was I supposed to realise that I have have to throw statuette on that living armor to kill it?!!! :SPAM:

And all those f..kin' books that I've thought were some kind of help seem to be worth muck!!! I spend hours analizing them for nothing!!!

Why I can't kill a 99,99% of the monsters?! Special weapons you say? Where?!
How am I supposed to know that I need one in the first place?

Why I can't even kill a f..kin' mouse even after 125 hits?!!!!

And why those godamn ghosts don't like any record on the planet. They just don't want to dance no matter what I play!

Why so many adventure game elements with such a crappy interface?! :SPAM:

Please don't lie to me telling me that you passed this without a walkthrough. I managed to complete every adventure game so far in a blink of an eye, but this puzzles are......a wreck!

Timegate is a game with the same interface and much better puzzles... It should be posted here.

I'll go and cool off now...

:SPAM: :SPAM: :SPAM: :SPAM:
ROFLMFAO!! You should be a writer! Made my day!!
I'm 47 btw and missed out on all these great games cuz i was too busy being an adult but thanx to this site
I'm reconnecting. Try doing sumthin else if one thing dosen't work - have patience and read! The books are my fav part. Great game!

Love the game, but is there any way to cheat? I know the old official game had cheats, but for this version...? Anything?

LOL. Don't use a walkthrough that is going to tell you more than you want to know. I strongly recommend the following site for those game playing times when you feel like inventing new words.
